Treated Terribly

Cashier+warehouse assistant
Recommend
CEO approval
Business Outlook

Pros

There aren't any. This job was the worst I've ever had

Cons

Got treated like dirt by older management who were very ageist against the younger employees such as myself. Was never able to get time off, hardly got raises, and was constantly harassed by older employees. I brought these concerns to management's attention and was completely ignored.
