Great co-workers horrible everything else

Business Outlook

Pros

Some of the co-workers were great people and the customers were loyal.

Cons

Management takes everything for granted. Got fired for being sick after having to call out a few other times for understandable reasons. Choosing between working for minimum wage for 8-10 hour shifts or taking care of my health and my child. No brainer. Who would want an employee with a stomach bug to come into work anyway?!

Pros

Flexible with my schedule Great co workers Overall a great place to work without shift lead responsibilities

Cons

Manager gave favoritism, some people called out and never disciplined. New shift leads would give warnings but employees knew it didn't mean anything as manager didn't review them.
