The customers are worse, the supervisors don’t care if they verbally abuse you, your schedule can get changed without any notification, they give people work that they legally can’t be asked to do because the company won’t foot the bill to give employees proper qualifications and we get paid less than we would working at McDonalds. It was a decent place for a college student to work at first, but this entire company has gone to hell.
