I worked for Crumbl. Here’s my (shitty) experience

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…

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
