I live in CO and have a dear friend in Milwaukee who has worked at GW for 5+ years. I applaud her for sticking it out so long. She has to take the bus to work (from quite a distance) daily and we all know the weather conditions that apply in winter.\r
On many occasion, she has been screwed out of the bonus pay for holidays for various petty reasons. She worked on Xmas day and didn't get any extra pay. GW's excuse is that she was 5 minutes late at some point between Oct. and Nov. one day. I HIGHLY doubt that is legal by any means. She has called me crying about three times in 5 years. They either screwed her out of pay or docked her pay over shortages she had no control over. You would really have to work at this place to see how corrupt they are.\r
I worked there for 2 weeks when I lived in Milwaukee. Where should I start? The fruit flies on the lettuce? The fossiled ketchup? The employee harrassment?\r
Please do give these money grubbing slobs the time of day or night. I have had occasions where I had to go and refill my own coffee. I still tipped the waitress though. I know for fact that they are unhappy there. This is just another fast food pub that treats their staff like slaves and charges way too much for their grub.\r
My heart goes out to this employee I speak of as she has much to endure. They cut her to part time when her mother passed away. They finally gave her full hours again, but put her through hell to gain them back. God fer' bid we take time off for a funeral!\r
Oh, one last thing. I won't even discuss the pay as it's too small. They charge the employees for the uniforms (which are hot and uncomfortable). They only get one uniform which they have to pay for. I forget the amt., but know it's atleast 25$ . Once it gets stained (easy to do there) they expect you to buy another one at your expense. \r
I will NEVER eat at this slave driving slop house. I pray that you won't either. Remember, check that burger for fruit flies!
Pros: you can collect fruit flies from your plate
Cons: slave labor, fruit flies, harsh food
