Best thing
30% off in store
Worst thing
They put us on random shifts (no schedule). Put us on shifts when we have already said we can’t work them. Don’t give us an option to accept over time, we just have to do it, then when we ask for time off or change out availability they say no even if we have already completed our contracted hours. The managers let some staff get away with things that others can’t because they’re friends. The managers don’t speak to us with respect at all. They expect us to do 100 jobs at once and it’s never good enough. One manager tells you to do one thing and the other tells you another. When you did what your told it’s wrong and not good enough. The management is so poor!
