Decent coworkers, but night shift struggles with staffing

Pros

At my location we were given a 15 minute break. My coworkers were decently good. Never took advantage of their benefits but they seemed good.

Cons

We never had any shift leads on night shift, most people would quit within 2 months of working so night shift was understaffed. Management could be better.
