    Wangara WA 60651 to 2 years in the role, former employee
    Stressful, feeling unappreciated at the end of every shift and like a payroll number.
    The good thingsThe comradery with alot of the crew
    The challengesThe management, the total lack of admin support and general support to crew leaders on all jobs. The culture overall felt like an us and them mentality, unless you were a "Senior" or in the purple circle it can be hard getting callout/overtime and consistent work no matter how much effort you put in.
