Overworked and unsafe environment with understaffing issues
Pros
It’s a job with a paycheck.
Cons
•Intentional understaffing: -Constantly manning the store alone— which is not only overwhelming, but it’s also a safety risk. •Zero regard for work/life balance - Due to the aforementioned understaffing; Staff burn out quickly, and frequently. Leading to frequent call outs and high turnover rates. Meaning that you will rarely have a day off where you aren’t called and begged/pressured into covering shifts. They will not only beg you to cover shifts for your location— but for other stores in the region as well. 2 cashiers per shift would be a simple solution. That way if 1 calls out, there’s 0 panic— because the shift is still covered. •Unsafe work environment (Depending on area) - I was threatened by a customer on the job about a month ago. I reported the incident to corporate immediately, and nothing is being done about it— aside from my hours being slashed. What am I supposed to make of that?
