Pros

Pay is decent. PTO accrual decent.

Cons

Consistently scheduled every weekend day. Nobody else is. Consistently scheduled to open after closing. Nobody else is. Feels like I'm being punished for being dependable for showing up and doing my job. Told to just do availability requests when I don't want to work when the schedule isn't part of my job description.
