Pros

The work schedule was very flexible. You could book the days that you free and keep the days off that you were busy. The app makes it easy to book a job even last minute/the day of.

Cons

Some classes/schools were a lot more challenging than others. Offers medical insurance but it's very expensive for what it is.
