    An easy but fast paced job

    Nov 29, 2022 - Food Assembler in San Francisco, CA
    Recommend
    CEO Approval
    Business Outlook

    Pros

    This job is easy to get because it doesn’t require work experience. It’s for anyone who needs a job to pay the bills and find something to do. The duties of the job are easy to perform, and there are free meals and drinks provided.

    Cons

    There are expectations to work long hours from management. Long hours can be mentally draining especially during summer season and the holidays. Sometimes, management may not be patient many employees. Also, brand new employees may not need receive enough training to do the job. Declining to work overtime hours can be looked down upon by upper management. Thus, work life balance can be hard to obtain.
