Been in the job a short while now and absolutely love it.
Not working for a lo-co so can't comment.
Still have the stupid-o'clock starts, unstable rosters and all the other issues mentioned. However that's exactly what i expected and to be honest, i like all the uncertainty of it all, thats what makes it interesting.
With respect to the guys that have posted and emphasised the negatives, i wonder if they REALLY have done a hard days graft for the minimum wage.
Whats the phrase?..." walk a mile in another mans shoes".
Makes one appreciate what one has got!
