The apparent non negotiable early and long working hours. You can finish a 10 hour work shift at 10PM on Monday and be starting work at 5AM on Wednesday which is not enough time to get adequate rest.

Check the hours that you are meant to be working and say something to management if you are unhappy with hours, if you don’t say stick up for yourself it becomes regular.
