Prep Cook at Good Fellas

Wendy's management

I began working at Wendy's April 17, 2018 and I quit May 14, 2018. When I first got there I was like oh finally a job. I expected to be trained properly so I can do my job to the best of my ability when to my surprise I was left alone on my first day to pretty much fend for myself. I barely got hours. I worked maybe 9 hours a week and was told well your supposed to call daily to find out if you have work. I kept my mouth shut and kept doing my job the best I could. I had asked the manager a question and got a response when I began to act on what I asked I was screamed at in front of everyone. One of the co-workers and myself was talking about the situation and was told to drop it I kinda got upset and said I don't think it's fair you spoke to me like you did and she began to tell me shut my mouth or I wouldn't have a job. I'm sorry but I'm not going to be spoken to like that. I clocked out and went home quitting my job. I absolutely refuse to be degraded and spoken to like I'm some kind of Savage. I am a human and deserve respect so as for that being said if you don't want to be treated like complete garbage STAY AWAY!!!

Hi Jessika Shotwell So sorry to hear you lost a job I'm sure took you some time to find. I probably would have walked off the job if faced with the same situation. Do you know if that restaurant was a franchise or company owned? The Management should have been consistent either way but i'm curious due to an article I recently read where the quick service management consensus expresses a concern over employee retention. The turnover rate in that industry is up to 150% according to a recent Business Insider article.

With a new hire on-boarding experience like yours then it's easy to see why they are having problems. Lesa Williams is an informed community member with quick service restaurant experience. I'll tag him on this conversation to get his input on your experience.

So what's next Jessika? Do you have any other job prospects or interviews? Please reach out and let us know how we can help. Have a great weekend.
