      Pros

      3 day on 3 day off schedule

      Cons

      Management expects employees to work their full schedule plus extra long shifts to make up for short staffing. Hard work often goes unnoticed, and leadership opportunities seem to go to favorites rather than those who consistently perform. It’s frustrating to be the one who carries the workload and still gets blamed for others’ mistakes. There also seems to be unprofessional behavior between some supervisors and crew members that affects the work environment.
