People at working who are in the same position and act as if they own the place and have it out on me because they simple don’t like me, not that I have done anything wrong just trying to be a boss

Culture of being a partner in the business

Best thing
The pay and benefits doesn’t change pay based on age they change it on skill so 16 year old gets payed the same as a 50 year old
Worst thing
The older partners don’t realise that younger partners can learn and supervisor jobs such as welcome desk and consistently undermine the ability of young people.

Best thing
Just the pay .
Worst thing
The management team are extremely rude . We don’t choose out breaks they are assigned to us before the shift even starts. The managers are too intrusive . They do not hand out the roles equally leading to some people feeling overworked whilst others do very little . Blatant favouritism. The customers speak to us as if we are stupid. The managers never defend partners against verbally abusive customers. They don’t really care about your physical or mental health , as long as they make enough money is what matters to them .
