The amount of hours dont stay consistent. One week I will get 25 hours and the next week I get 13.

It's very hard to get full time now. No matter how hard you work. We had no store manager for 2 months. When the new manager came in she was so very different and has different policies. She failed to tell everyone how she likes things done and what she doesn't tolerate. Because of this many people were breaking rules and had no idea. After the new manager worked with us about a month she fired 4 people. We were taught that our fellow employees are customers too by our former manager. So they are allowed to sample things just like the customers. The new manager doesn't agree with this and fired people who had given employees a sample of something as well as any associates that accepted the food. Some people were fired because after the store closed they'd eat a piece of chicken or something that was about to go in the trash. Intolerant of waste? The rule we were taught was 3 write ups and then you get fired. Had she written the associates up the problem would have been solved. She didn't have to fire them. Some of them had been working in this store years and worked very hard. This has made it hard on the department. New employees don't get a dollar extra an hour for working on Sundays, the benefits have changed and the raises are now less. The employees that were fired were wonderful. They developed friendships and connections with their customers. Now these people are going to go into the store and not know anyone. They'll have to retrain a whole new line of employees on their needs, their likes and dislikes.
