Pros

Very nice people and some helpful supervisors.

Cons

Abusive coworker. She screams and threatens to report me all the time. She takes photos of misplaced items and displays them to every group member to humiliate me.

My boss is actually worse than her. He pretended to give me a fake interview. He said he was not supposed to be in the interview for ethical reasons, but later said he is supposed to be in the interview, otherwise it is not an interview. He encouraged the coworker to bully me by telling me, "Maybe she had a reason to lose her temper."

My trainer couldn't teach me thoroughly due to a language barrier. My boss mocked me and refused to help me learn. He even forbade me to talk to anybody other than my two coworkers and himself. He even warned me that I must take breaks and lunch exactly at the same time as my coworkers. This means I couldn't go anywhere, even outside. I had to stay with them exclusively all the time. He forced me to work with my coworker even though he knew I couldn't get along with her. I requested a transfer, and he threatened me, saying he would report me to his boss. I finally got an interview and was waiting for the result, and he ended my contract suddenly to prevent me from going to another department.

Advice to Management

I think the manager should retire. He thinks he is above the law and abuses coworkers whenever he pleases. Also, you should not keep hiring people with a violent temper.

Also, HR people need to learn to communicate with employees instead of being lazy.
