Do NOT work for Father s Table. They say that they...

Do NOT work for Father s Table. They say that they are a Christian company, but treat their employees very poorly. This is obvious starting with orientation. The woman who did orientation told us that if we took our phones into the 50 degree packout area, they d be ruined by the cold and we d have to buy a new one every month. Please, don t insult us by lying to us. She also said we d leave our belongings in a public area, that there was no problem with stealing and that it was all on camera anyway. I ll return to that later. I worked mostly at the Lake Mary location but also for three days at Country Club. At Lake Mary, the supervisors were nice and we all got lockers. However, they only post the schedule one day ahead, no set end time, and the break situation is completely unreasonable. They give you 13 minutes total to walk from a back area, get into your locker, take off smock and other items before entering the break room, and then reverse it all going back plus wash hands, find the sign in sheet, etc. I knew that I couldn t take an actual 10 minute break so I started timing myself for 8 minutes once I got into the break room. I was still taking 16-17 minutes total. They pulled me into a supervisor s office and told me that I had too many points for being late and for being late back from break. By being late to start they meant not being 7 minutes early (I was clocking in right on time most days). I will admit that they warned us about that and I just didn t take it that seriously. I was told that I would be fired if I wasn t such a good worker. All of this was a surprise to me, I thought that I was fine at least with breaks because I was already taking less than 10 minutes of an actual break. I figured out that a 5 min. break is the only way to make it. I worked way too hard to get only two 5 min. breaks and a 25 min. lunch (again, with walking and putting on all of the PPE) At Lake Mary, there are multiple people who just stand behind you hovering and correcting/fussing at you as you re considered a new person for weeks. At the country club location, you re expected to leave your valuables in the break room or else in your car which is parked half a mile away. Employees are not given a locker until they have worked there for a full year. I asked the supervisors to keep my phone in the office and was given a hard time about it, but told they would make an exception this time. At the end of my 10 hour shift, my earbuds and keys were missing from the break room where I had set them on the shelf and left them all day. I talked to the supervisors about it and told them A.It s unreasonable to expect us to trust everyone with our belongings B.It s unreasonable to expect adults with families to not have access to their phones for ten hours and C.It s unreasonable to expect us to take 10 minutes of our 30 minute lunch break just to retrieve our phones from our cars. As I described how I had looked all over for my earbuds and keys twice, they proceeded to tell me that the cameras didn t cover the whole shelf area. Well, I guess that was Lie Number Two from Orientation. After a while a supervisor came from the back work area holding my earbuds and keys and angrily stated that someone found them and I should be thanking that person. I said that I would love to know how they ended up in the back work area when I left them in the break room. Why didn t the person put them back on the shelf if they fell? The situation would not have occurred at all if the Country Club location provided secure storage space for ALL employees as is ONLY reasonable since they don t allow phones in the work area. I believe that Father s Table is asking for a lawsuit by putting their employees belongings at risk. I will NEVER work for Father s Table again. It s tedious work, long hours, and physically demanding, all of which I can deal with, but this charitable company doesn t even provide the basics for their employees.
