Great coworkers, awesome connection with clients

I love my positions with coolaid and REES. I worked for coolaid for 2 years and felt good working overnights and outreach.

Staff shortages caused an occasionally stressful workplace, and passive aggressive pressure from schedulers and upper mngmt to work extra shifts.
