Thank you for taking the time to review our company. We agree that we've got some of the best and most hardworking people working for us. We recommend that employees reach out to their supervisor or regional HR manager with any concerns about long hours and too few people. In some roles, long hours are to be expected and the expectation is set when interviewing and again when the job is offered.
