Lack of training and support make work unsafe - Can I have my 3months back?!

Asset protection associate

Recommend

CEO approval

Business Outlook

Pros

You dont have to work past 8, past that I cant think of anything.

Cons

Where to start!? Zero Training - I was paired up with a seasoned AP Associate, who didn't show me anything that I would need to know after training. You work alone, solo - Probably the most unsafe thing you could do in AP/LP. The couple stores that do have PD in them, the Cops thought it was ridiculous that I was alone as well. Absolutely zero back up in stores that have no PD in it. The AP Manager is completely absent. I only saw him on the day I interviewed and the day I quit. Most useless AP program ive been apart of.

Business Outlook

Pros

Some good people to work with

Cons

Terrible management and very unsafe and unfair conditions with ruthless rules like drinking too much water in summer. Not allowed breaks from heat or shelter from lightning. Terrible scheduling and understaffed 24/7.
