>>Management will be over demanding, you'll be pushed to exhaustion and then some
>>Management does not care about you
>>You can't call in sick without a doctors note
>>Calling out sick is highly unrecommended, do it twice per year or less
>>Don't be late, ever. If you're late once and they catch you, you'll be on their target list for weeks
>>Old hires are on an old contract and make ~$22 an hour. Pay raises back then were by $1 every 6months-year. Now, pay raises are by $0.10-$0.25 per 6 or so months. $0.25 are for those working in departments. Your starting pay will be $10.10 and as a courtesy clerk, you cap out at $10.30 (meaning you can't make more than that unless you're promoted to something else)
>>Management, especially supervisors, play favoritism. To the extent where if they don't like you, they won't ever promote you to a position beyond courtesy clerk, even after years of working there. Then a new hire will come along and 2 weeks in they're already a combo clerk, a year later they're a supervisor. And suddenly 2 years down the road from their start date, they're making at least $15 an hour and you, with your years and years of experience, are making $10.30.
>>They're always cutting hours to save money, especially around payroll season
>>if you care about work quality, have a good work ethic, are witty and have some brainpower going for ya, don't work here. You'll find yourself feeling worthless and trapped
