The advertisements posted for this job are less than forthcoming as to the true nature of this work. The website says catering drivers can earn up to $25 an hour. It's made to sound at least to be steady, part-time work.
I called and emailed Boston Market's headquarters in Denver, CO to complain, and since none of them cared to get back with me I am posting this for the general public, so you don't get burned.
When I was at the interview, Amy the hiring manager who I met in Lake Mary, FL today told me:
1) I could possibly go weeks without being asked to do a delivery.
2) That she had no average or potential median of what I could expect to earn, no range on how many hours I could work, if any.
I commented that I couldn't count on this in any way then. She agreed. I said I wished she would have told me this instead of having me go over there. I could sense that this is not what she wanted to hear. Maybe I should have said "Great, I love to not know when I can earn an income! How do I get started!"
What they are offering is not work, they are mini, tiny projects, if any; that can't be counted on. That's how it should be advertised because that's the way it was presented to me at the interview.
I ask any one of the employees in Boston Market's HR, if not advised otherwise, would any of you have been satisfied at your interviews or be at your desks today if Corporate told you that you would be given no information on when or how long you would be working each week? A rough forecast on what you can expect to earn? What if they said, don't expect to work at all? Would you consider this a legitimate opportunity? I should have been advised of this before I went there.
I'm also upset that I received a decline email from Boston Market *minutes after I left there. I'm a true bona-fide, excellent work partner, but I don't appreciate being misled.
Because this is not good; considering the cost of gasoline, and the loss of other income, to speak with your company about a job that isn't really a job at all.
