If you need the job for the holidays, my advice would be to just stick it out and know that you will need to just let stuff roll off your back. But if you need to work, I'd keep an eye out for something better. The one thing I found with my daughter (who by the way was their outstanding employee that customers requested but who got NO recognition EVER) is that there is little that you can really do to get in big trouble because they need the workers so badly. So they're basically all bark and no bite.
Good Luck and I hope you can either find it to actually be a good job after orientation or find something better!! |
Thank you so much! I really need to weigh my options here before Thursday. Part of me thinks I should just finish school. There's a community college here that's only around 3600/year, but unfortunately I would need nearly all of it financed and I have terrible credit, so I'd have to see what I can do
