DO NOT WORK HERE. I worked at Coldstone for a while. I loved working with my coworkers and working there in general with the managers I had, however the owner is absolutely the most immature man I have ever encountered. First, I had to ask him to start emailing my pay stubs because he wasn't automatically doing it. Then when I asked him for all of them he barely acknowledge this. He still has not given them to me which can only lead me to assume things.
I also was receiving my payment directly into my savings account regularly until one day I didn't. They were going through perfectly fine before. I brought this to his attention and he handled it very poorly. He sent me a check (late I might add :/ ) the first time but I had no pay stub to see if he took money from this check. After this he told me to fill out a form so that the money would go into my checking account, so I did expecting I would get my money on time the next paycheck...only I didn't. I tell him and he says I should have my money. I then call my bank to see what is the problem and turns out he has it listed as going into my savings instead of my checking so my bank is not accepting it. So I tell him this and tell him what needs to be fixed and that he can send a check or deposit the money again. He sends a check...only he takes money out of it to pay for shipping when I told him he could deposit once he fixed the problem. It also was not a mistake on my end that the money did not go through. I bring this up to him along with the fact that I was told by my managers that I would get a promotion to shiftlead that has a raise because I was doing the work of a shiftlead but then told I wouldn't get that promotion until Dan had met me. I told him this and how he hasn't made an effort to meet me so it seems unfair. He then told me to "change your tone" and talk to my managers. (Normally I am professional right, but he was so damn petty with me, like bruh?! Who are you to tell me to change my tone? Not my mom that's for sure so please excuse any of my own pettiness...I could be the bigger person but I don't think he even deserves that ) I told him I was simply standing my ground and bringing up concerns and he did not contact me after that.
So I wait a few days and contact him asking for the money he took from my check and my pay stubs. He refused to pay me the money and did not acknowledge the pay stubs. He was very rude about it and so I told him that he is legally required to keep record of payroll, so he should have them and that he needed to send me them. Then I said I was effectively resigning as of that day. His response was and I quote "Good Goodbye!! I don't work for you" he still has not given me my pay stubs as of today and I told him I would be taking action then he said and I quote again "Lose me number" (guess he was just in a silly goofy mood telling me what to do after I quit and all he also told me to lose his number twice because i sent a screenshot of another review on here saying he took money from his employees) so do with that information what you will, but it definitely feels like something is going on behind the scenes...you would think he would easily be able to email me at least my pay stubs but he had also asked when I started working there which makes me believe that maybe he doesn't have them...
Ultimately my review of Dan is 0/10 :) he not only is difficult to work with but he does not value his employees. Multiple of his employees have felt that he not only is hard to work with but also gaslights and talks down to them, including me. I think he may take the phrase gaslight, girlboss, gatekeep a little too seriously... read more
