Great colleagues, exhausting month after month

The roster is published on the 25th and changes several times before the month starts. Days off get rostered and then removed at short notice, which makes anything outside work impossible to plan. [demo]

Pros

Modern fleet, well maintained.

Cons

Commuting policy is far stricter than it reads.
