Corporate businesses care little for the needs of students or their schedules.
Most often, students end up being taken advantage of and abused because of these corporations.
Indeed the management of the individual "locations" know that these particular employees are in need of the money and most likely won't stand up and say "I deserve decent scheduling."
Some call these corporate businesses and retail jobs "sweatshops" or "slave houses."
No matter how much managers cares, though, they still have to conform to the demands of their corporate management that bears down upon them with ridiculous requests and requirements. In turn, all of this gets piled onto students because the managers rely on them for cheap and efficient labor. Thus propegating the name "sweatshop" or "slave house."
It is no wonder to me that that, students are doing so poorly.
So I say, start your own businesses, work for locally owned, be appreciated while you still have the freedom to do so, and defy the abuse of the corporate world.
