Someone suggested I post this here, so I’m sharing with the antiwork community.
I just wanted to share a bit of my experience and the reasons I quit with anyone who is considering working for Crumbl, so you aren't blind-sided like me. For context: I am a mid-20s nb student who is finishing their degree within the month.
On the job experience
- was advertised as $14-16/hour, told at my orientation that it would be ~$10/hour with tips to “make it up”
- GM did not have an email, and I was not informed of a way to contact HR or payroll (should have asked, but still)
- shift lead had no idea I was hired on, had to call GM to confirm
- shift lead informed me of my pay, not GM
- after three shifts, was left to open the store with one other person, who also only had 3 shifts under their belt
- dress code was “rules for thee, not for me” with GM
- yelled at for not starting a catering order, even though I communicated that I did not know what to do with said catering order three hours prior
- coworkers constantly left to go buy food, left to run store by myself
- was told multiple times that we are being watched by corporate and GM all hours of the day, and that the cameras are extremely good
Reasons for quitting
- Hours cut ~25% each week, despite stating explicitly that I needed 20-25 hours per week
- No scheduled breaks, or opportunity to take your legal break. the one time I did, they kept checking to see when my break would be over
- Left alone to open -and then being penalized for not doing certain tasks- after three days of training
- Yelled at for being 5 minutes late to work despite spotless record up to that point
- Being told that I should just “suck it up” and not tell anyone I was having gastrointestinal problems so I could work (major health code violation if I had gone in)
There were some red flags that I should have listened too, such as the not being informed of pay during the interview. I also recognize there are actions I could have taken to avoid working for them.
Anyways. Thanks for listening to my story
