Ross is probably the worst place to work for. This does not sound uncommon. I was an area supervisor at Ross for almost a year. I have added up all the breaks that I was legally entitled to take and it totals out to about 100 hours. They would force me to stay in the building on shift, because there wouldn't be any other person in the building who could cover me.
Sorry, but the Citizenship test should come in only one language. If you want to live here, speak it.
YES. I couldn't have said it any better. The only thing I could add to that is don't blame the area supervisors for being mean. We were told to be this way, and it is smiled upon! When I was one, my entire life was miserable. I was constantly tired, angry and on the verge of tears. I would go up to the attic on my breaks and cry. Once a DM came to visit (we had stayed at the store the night before until 4am making it beautiful), the store was looking really awesome. The end caps were so pretty, it looked like they belonged in Macys. Sections were colorized, sized, organized and everything was clean. Stores can get ratings of 1-5, 1 being God-like, 5 being a total pit. It is customary for the DM to ask upon arrival what rating we thought we would get. Without hesitation I said a 2. He said almost nothing during the walk through. At the end, he informed me that this store was a 4, EASILY. Then I had to deal with the rest of the day. Which included a crack head screaming about how our LP sexually assualted her, cops called, customers yelling, books being thrown at me, people stealing stuff, people returning used merchandise... This is pretty much how 25% of my shifts at Ross went.
