At the beginning, the training for new employees includes many courses, and there are also many colleagues around the same age whom you can talk with or become friends with. You can learn a lot quickly, and promotions and raises come faster than elsewhere. However, it is very difficult to advance beyond manager level, as the positions are tightly blocked.
The overtime hours are extremely long, and the busy season is also extremely long. The only months when you can almost leave work on time are June and August. During the other periods that are supposedly the off-season, it is generally around 7–8 p.m.; during the busy season, working until 10 p.m. to midnight is normal (which may already count as lucky). Some people even have to work until sunrise in May.
Despite working so much overtime, you still cannot report all of it; if you report too much, you may be questioned about it.
Rank and age are taken very seriously. During your first two years, if you want to take a break on a holiday during the busy season, you must "report it" to your team leader.
During the busy season, you will envy stray dogs and cats sleeping by the roadside—at least they still have time to sleep.
