Terrible Staffing (always understaffed) - It would often be just me and a manager to close the store. I was often asked to stay and close when I was not scheduled to close.
Uncaring Management - One night my district manager was expecting a visit from the corporate office. That day, my mom got sick and had to go to the ER, but wouldn't go if I didn't go with her. I called my Boss and asked if I could go with my mom and her only response was "When are you coming into work?" Shocked and utterly hurt, I went into work with a very heavy heart. My mom didn't go to the ER and corporate NEVER EVEN CAME.
No breaks - sometimes I didn't eat all during full 7-8hr shift
Minimum wage, with no promotions or pay-raises.
Aside from two or three personal friendships I gained from working there, the management team didn't seem to care at all. I was a top tier, positive survey winning crew member who operated in multiple positions (i.e. Line chief, front cashier, drive thru) and I was only offered a pay-raise/ promotion when I put in my two-week notice. (I quite anyway) I worked every single day, most times until 4 or 5am. The terrible timing plus the lack of staffing stressed me out and threw my life completely out of wack. I worked hard for next to nothing. If I had not quite, they would have continued to use me with no benefits or incentives on my end.
