Decent Starter Job
This role wasn’t worth the time invested.
This employee consistently achieved impressive results.
It’s a good short term job when someone needs to make money quickly.
Trash
Pros
Performance has not met expectations and requires significant improvement.
Cons
This employee's performance has been consistently below acceptable standards, resulting in limited work hours and a challenging work environment.
Lack of Transparency and Communication
Pros
Competitive compensation.
Cons
During the period of employment from January to September, significant concerns were raised regarding the unsafe working environment, particularly at the initial distribution center, with observable deterioration and potential hazards. Following a severe illness – meningitis – and disclosure of the serious nature of the situation to a manager, assurances were provided regarding continued employment and job security. Upon subsequent attempts to access my account, I was informed of termination. While acknowledging the principle of at-will employment, the lack of transparency and subsequent termination following a near-death experience was deeply concerning.
