What I wish was different
I wish the employees got more hours as well as better training to deal with emergency situations.

What I liked
Being able to get the hours that I wanted, pay is pretty decent, the job itself is pretty easy and the customers are great majority of the time.
What I wish was different
It would have been much better had I worked with people who actually cared even a little bit about their job and who wouldn't call off unnecessarily and quit because they can't handle an easy job.
Advice
Expect the unexpected, never get comfortable because it's always changing,check prepared to work with people who just don't care.
