Program Details
Wake up, morning meeting at 8 am. Then discuss duties for the week. Grab your stuff and go to the allocated workspace. This might only be a bit of cleaning and feeding the animals, some days it's front of house, it changes all the time depending on what's needed.
Lunch, chill, eat, back to work.
Dinner at 7 pm, no matter what time your shift is :)
Depending on the day shift (8 am till 1 pm), or night mid-day shift (12 till 5 pm), or night shift 4 till 9 pm), you end at your allocated time
Sleepy time, do it all over again the next day
If it's your day off, see the activity board
We work hard, and we play hard.
Sometimes we randomly decide to all go out for a team outing to a local restaurant, have a team beach day, or do something nice like go on "the poor man's game drive."
Spontaneity is key. We like to keep things fun and exciting.
