Delivery Team Member

June - September 2018 • South Euclid, OH

What I liked

What I wish was different

Advice

Stay away. Completely dysfunctional work environment, in which there was absolutely no accountability on the part of the general manager and higher management. I injured myself on the job and had to pretend I didn't to avoid letting deliveries arrive late. One of my coworkers worked up to 50 hour weeks with no overtime pay.
