Repetitive tasks with demanding hours and pressure

Pros

It was pretty easy but repetitive

Cons

Made me work way more than I asked for from the start and continued to keep doing so after multiple times of me telling them. I was a junior in high school, and I couldn’t work 25 hours a week, like they were scheduling me, with school and extracurriculars. Extremely difficult to ask off and was always questioned. Nobody ever wants to open the credit cards, but managers have a private talk with you if you don’t meet your amount.
