They’re training policy is AWFUL. The new store managers that came in were supposed to continue training me on the register, and I of course messed up on a WIC order. I costed the store $80. So instead of them taking the blame for not training me properly I was cleaning toilets for two months. I also wasn’t told how the tardy policy works either. I called out several times for the flu and my grandmother being very sick. No one told me it was on me to find a replacement, so I got several tardies without being told how the system works. I got suspended because they changed the schedule on me, so that also was put down as a “no call, no show.” I checked the schedule periodically because I was afraid of losing my job. When they called me I was at a concert, when really I was supposed to be at work. I checked the schedule a lot and ended up losing my job because of them changing the schedule so much without giving me a notice. They also made me get down on my hands and knees during flu season and made me scrub the baseboards of the registers with multi surface cleaner when I had strep throat. I couldn’t leave because they weren’t trying to find a replacement for me so that I could go to the dr. After cleaning the baseboards of the registers, my boss made me do it again with mineral oil. (Can’t get benefits until you can somehow get to work there full-time. They won’t let you work full-time until you have an open availability)

The managment wants to control your life. There is no balance between what you work and the remuneration. Managers are very dominant people and always speak to you with attitude (they put bad face and point with their fingers). If you want more hours you have to work like a dog from 3 pm to 12 am. Very little management knowledge or human resources. They do not know how to treat and encourage employees. The possibility of growing in the company is scarce or null although you make a lot of effort. Managers treat their co-workers as objets, they think because they are on the top they are better than you. No team work, the company make you work over lapping (clock out at 12.00 am and come back a 6.30 am). Some benefits are really bad. Dental is really but really awfull, stocks is a trap.
