Management did not support workers

-Insane task list on top of already scheduled sessions, you will never get it all done and you will be constantly given new busy work to help your employees, even though you’re only able to give those employees 4 hours a week and never see them. -turn-over. See above. No one will stay with 4 hours a week. As soon as you get your team members where you want them, boom, they quit. Without fail, every time. -team member shifts are usually on call basis, which were fine my first year as I was the only reliable employee my boss had and she gave me hours (she also worked less than the requirement and had me pick up shifts constantly), once a new boss was in I had to get another job and if I hadn’t become studio manager j wouldn’t have stayed. The stupid thing is you’re required to hire a set amount of employees for holiday season, so for 3 weeks you can give everyone 20 hours a week plus training, But the rest of the year you still have a bunch of required “core members” and go through training constantly!!! It never ends. After many years of it I got so burnt out watching the same cycle repeat itself over and over and over again. But you’re held accountable to the studio numbers as a manager and won’t get raised without a good team. You might have an amazing team but it won’t last. -insane burnout -working alone 90% of the time. It took a huge toll on me. I didn’t realize it then but now that I’m gone I can see how horrible it was for me. -pay absolutely does not meet amount of work you do for the company and horrible hours
