This company had a whole lot of red flags, the guy seemed to take genuine enjoyment in punishing employees (laughing about not allowing “lazy employees” to get vacation). The rule they had was about not discussing compensation with other employees. I would later email them and tell them so.
Other red flags include:
-No benefits til after a year
-Vacation earned by being a “good employee” (not by time working)
-If you quit without a notice they only give you minimum wage for your last paycheck (two weeks)
-Stressing how fulfilling it was to work there even though the pay sucks
-Posting how much they would pay and instead telling me I could work 12 hours more instead to get to that pay!
I didn’t take the job but I certainly told them all the reasons I wasn’t going to work for them because workers deserve better.
