"I was not meant to be a laborer. I have a strong body, but I have a mind that buzzes and froths when not being exercised properly, and I never found the position to be mentally involved or challenging on any level. If you want a way to make some decent money for relatively few hours, and you have a strong back, this is a good place to start though."

"I was grateful that the entry to employment was fairly easy, but the expectations to pay ratio is poor."
