    Whilst working there I enjoyed the company of the customers and some workers. With different management came different judgements and that lead to loss of shifts and all round negativity
    The good thingsCo-workers made it count
    The challengesUnorganised Management, Unfairness in shifts Cant communicate

    Regretful and glad I do not work there anymore
    The good thingsBeing able to go home
    The challengesBeing a manager under people that have no understanding of the business or how things run, working with people that have zero care factor about the place of work or the welfare of the birds or workers.

    A great learning experience.
    The good thingsLearning about the chicken industry from people who are dedicated and passionate about it and are willing to teach you what they know. The comararderee and friendliness of the workers.
    The challengesThe solitude of being in a shed full of chickens all day with very little contact with the outside world can be a bit daunting. Having angry roosters be agrssive when your in there area. Learning the art of packing and grading eggs to a production worthy speed.

    My experience was interesting and physically tough but good as well
    The good thingsWorking with the baby chickens they are cute, sometimes working in a shed picking up eggs on your own is also good, get bit of time to self while working.
    The challengesHaving to do the egg rounds about three times in certain amount of time was tough for me, always finished little later then the rest.
