Where to start? I was duped into false hope that I would be safe there. I was even told that I "would be taken care of" as long as I work hard I will go far. Not a moment of proper and/or consistent training, chastised and threats of losing my job that I so badly needed because I had NO actual training. I was threatened that if I wasn't up to what ever their standard is by the next two days I would be let go. I had been there for four days, these days being made to press dough. No actual pizza assembly training or practice. The managers are always "off" on days that I remember HAVING TO be there like Friday, Saturday and sunday when I was a manager at a similar establishment. My hours went from 38 to 15 as "punishment for talking to the customers too much" while I prepared their food. I'm almost 30 years old and I have never in my 12 years of customer service heard from a manager or associate that talking with a guest is a problem. Fellow cooks will just walk away from the make table and then there is only me. So I chat with the guest. Not going to put my head down and pretend they aren't there or ignore them when they start a conversation. Anyway I could sit and write a ten page letter about all that's wrong with the way this place is being run but I dislike the way speaking so negatively makes me feel. Basically it's a lot of phony, caddy, two faced bull and it was worse than Jr high. And people that were there from the beginning were fired "because they said so or we don't really like you". Some quit out of fear for their sanity.
I have trained many people and nobody is perfect within one working week.
