The worst work environment I've ever encountered
Pros: A couple of people try to put a smile on my face. A few other people give me respect.
Cons: A good portion of co-workers are unprofessional, rude, and ignorant. When they were asked to change behavior, they just mocked me the entire shift. When I'm present at work, they slander me as though I'm invisible and don't have ears. First 2 weeks they were contemplating or very sure that I am mentally retarded or that I'm a drug addict. If I was smoking pot because of how quiet (and antisocial) or that I'm stupid. Now it's "She's mentally ill." Truth be told, I've suffer from bipolar with severe depression and not medicated. So it does hinder my work, but, it doesn't help that I'm very uncomfortable in my environment. Especially since it seems that the work place is a huge social clique and lacks diversity (a.k.a same herd of cows.) Work environment is discouraging, unprofessional, and depressing. A good majority of the time you hear them complaining about either work or personal lives. Especially those that are new to the job. They really put them down. You'll also hear them complain if you're doing your job correctly. Why? Because your setting a standard that they do not want to put forth the extra time into. I've heard them complain about how I was wiping down the chairs, sweeping the floors, and scrubbing the vats too long (which btw is 10 min to scrub each vat; they do it in a couple min). The store is very dirty and worn down because of their lack of effort.  (Do you dare look underneath the dining tables?!) They use that effort to converse with each other rather than to pick up a rag and clean.Training in grill area is inadequate and can be confusing because of conflicting views on how to do things. Training up front is better though. I've learned more up front than in grill area. Just to throw extra bits to this in here, within the past few months, 6 people have quit that job. The workplace has a problem with people snooping through others' phones and/or steal stuff from their wallets/purse. I haven't had anything stolen but I have overheard coworkers talking about the contents in my phone. She went so far as to log in my Game of War and shared my username with another coworker.
