Taking advantage younger employees - BBB

Pros

Yet to be determined - HR and BBB please look into this

Cons

The management at this location is taking advantage of the young employees working here. Some employees are FORCED to take the first break as soon as they clock in their shift and they are also FORCING them to take a lunch after the 5th hour!! This is breaking the work and labor laws! How can they allow their employees to rest after STANDING FOR 5 STRAIGHT HOURS!!!!!

So the holidays are upon us again....

Pros

Only thing I can think of is my coworkers are great

Cons

No acknowledgement at all from company for the holidays. No party, bonus, merch, and since I'm part time I don't even get holiday pay. We put out like machines for this cheap, disrespectful, indifferent company and all they will do is push us harder to make them more money without giving us any cut of the pie. Add that to the fact that we have the most entitled and rude customers on planet earth doesn't really inspire employees to want to go to work and do their best. I so need to get out of this crap show!
