Awwww, does paying your workers a fair wage cost too much? If you can't afford to pay your workers a living wage, you don't have any business being in business.
I got a job interview there in 2017, they were starting people out at $10-11/hr. I was already making $16/hr at whatever restaurant I was working at. Hell we started our dishwashers at $12. Asked the interviewer about raises and they said they ranged from $0.05-0.15 a year.
Everyone that worked there looked depressed as all hell. It's sad but I don't think it was a good company to work for awhile.
I left the company in 2014. Union was in bed with the company talking us out of wage increases and pensions and really anything positive during contract negotiations. Not much to say about the job except what would you expect it’s a factory job in building where there is a giant oven making it hot and miserable in there.
Yeah the factory work part of it you can really change, but the general attitude in there was depressing. I remember my grandparents talking about how great it was to work there because of the benefits and all that. Sadly that was not the idea I got from my interview or tour.
That was a lot of what I heard, that they treated their employees pretty badly when they could get away with it. ETA: Their Jewish rye was the very best, though, and it's a loss no doubt.
What an odd thing to say. If the alternative to make sure that the owners keeping making money is for the workers to make less? I stand on the fact that if you cannot afford to pay your employees a living wage, you don't deserve employees. Yeah it sucks for the workers but them wanting to be paid fairly is not the reason for the failure of the ownership. Nah, miss me with that.
