Sexual harassment and favoritism are rampant
Pros
They do offer health insurance, which is better than most/many fast food places (and yes it is a fast food place, even though they’d like to pretend it’s not), but it wasn’t very good when I worked there, and considering how much they pay you, wasn’t cheap either.
Cons
-Sick leave doesn’t exist. I once had the flu and was told I had to come in because I couldn’t find anyone to cover my shift. Literally actually had snot drip out of my nose and onto the counter in front of multiple customers (gross. Can you imagine being a customer and seeing that? Disgusting). Managers saw how sick I was and were not sympathetic. Even worse, a coworker of mine had kidney stones and was in excruciating pain before she even knew they were kidney stones, but was not allowed to leave her shift despite being in so much pain that she was in tears and barely able to walk. She wound up having to go to urgent care, who then sent her to the emergency room because they were concerned for her safety. Management didn’t care. -Coworker sexually harassed myself and multiple other coworkers (side-kicked in the butt, slapped women’s chests, talked about very inappropriate things over the headset, touched women’s chests and butts), sexually harassed male customers to the point that one man told us he was never coming back, and made fun of another coworker who had Tourette’s to their face. Myself and four other people called the HR line and reported her, and were told that it would be left up to the manager to decide if she was to be reprimanded or punished. Issue was, her and the manager were besties and would go out drinking together on a regular basis (against company policy). The manager therefore did nothing. Even worse, four of us had reported the issue anonymously, but one of us was not given the option for anonymous comment, and had to put her name on her report. The manager then retaliated against her, by threatening her with termination and accusing her of theft. -I was promoted to shift manager and all my coworkers loved me. I didn’t do anything wrong, had high numbers, and did very well in my position. Multiple coworkers told me I was the only shift manager that they felt truly comfortable with and trusted. I was demoted, when the same woman who had sexually harassed me fed the manager many lies about my performance that could not be backed up with evidence. Manager and she were close friends though, so guess who they believed. -Coworker and friend of mine went on medical leave, was told her leave was approved, and then when she came back, was told it had actually never been approved and that she was on her final warning, despite having had no warnings before, and being assured that her medical leave was fully taken care of before she left. -Pay is low.
