Can I report my job for work violations? Should I call 311?

I’ve been working there for a year and a half. I hate it but I’m a full time college student and need the money. These are things that have happened over time. I might’ve missed some but can I report them for any of this? Especially the fire alarm and temperature? (they are still happening). I work in the US for a big retail store. Sorry for any typos. broken fire alarm system that beeps every day. A manager told me the whole system needs to be replaced but the company is too cheap to do it. I hear it through my whole shift sometimes. Toilet that breaks down a lot Cluttered break space. Sometimes is full of uboats. It does not have much room to reach the lockers or sit down.

Why leave the country?

I’ve seen a few posts about all these other places all over the world which claim to be better than the US, but honestly I’m not buying it. Every time someone mentions a place that is awesome in Europe, it tends to be a pretty homogenous looking place. And beyond that, these places tend to have a really rough history worldwide.

May be Jobless? Not sure How to Proceed

So, I posted a few months ago about how my company was scamming the employees out of overtime pay over the holidays, but I sadly stuck around a bit longer. I was hired there 6 months ago to be the general manager, but after I began, the owner's son basically decided he liked the management position and has been unwilling to let me do my job. We have been butting heads constantly for these 6 months, but he just undercuts and overrules me almost out of spite and without communication. That, and stealing my ideas to implement them as his own. I've tried to speak to the owner (who doubles as HR), but my emails and phone calls have gone unanswered. I've essentially been shoved into doing anything the son doesn't want to do himself which is primarily the administrative and customer work. I'm constantly cleaning up after the messes…
