I was hired around Feb/Mar as a part-time employee while taking classes at a trade school in Modesto. After about two months, I left that particular institution and began working full-time. I was praised regularly for my work ethic, and adored the team I worked with.
In December of that same year, I decided to attend classes at a more reputable educational institution, and formally requested part-time hours. A couple of hours after submitting my written request to the owner, I was summoned to meet with the HR representative. I was informed that the owner felt I was, ""Messing with her"" and that I was fired. The owner refused to meet with me face to face discuss the matter, and I was required to leave immediately.
I was shocked and hurt. I ALWAYS did what was requested of me, needed little training, didn't require constant supervision, and would work extra hours for special projects. It felt as if the owner was just in a bad mood that day, and needed to take it out on someone. I mean I know that many outstanding employees are terrified every moment of every day that they will lose their jobs for something ridiculous. But, I NEVER imagined I would be one of them.
I write this because I abhor the ethics of this company. ALL of the negative reviews of this company are true. So, whether you are a perspective employee or client, please consider going somewhere else. Do not support the way in which the employees are required to be mindless drones. They do not support higher education, despite the motivational posters hanging on the walls. They do not condone asking questions, confronting a problem, or for that matter, walking in the path of a supervisor in a bad mood.
