Do NOT work here! Especially if you are a woman.
I worked here at the Oro Valley location for 3 years as a delivery driver and was let go a short time ago. I wanted to make this review just to prevent other's from dealing with the same things I did, because that place runs on favoritism and if this is your first job, you will be taken advantage of because you are new. The general manager that had been there for more than 10 years, regularly insults his employees and talks badly about them behind their backs and in front of their faces, some people like to cope and call it tough love, but it is just plain bullying. The worst thing is that he is a pervert, I have seen him flirt with underage female workers, grab their thighs to get their attentions, and have heard stories from old coworkers regarding alleged drunken sexual assaults during closings but since that is hearsay I will leave that there. I did witness him grab and shake my coworkers thighs to wake her up. Sleeping, because nobody is allowed breaks/lunches at Marcos pizza. Sleeping, because during the summer months, the air conditioning died for months on end, openers were working 9 hours without breaks, without air conditioning, and since it was most of their first jobs, they didn't know any better. This happened all 3 summers that I worked there. If you are a woman working there, expect to get asked some weird sexual questions by someone twice as old as you, the girls who are working their right now have absolutely no clue how gross this all really is because this is their first jobs, they have all just accepted that their boss will sit there and stare at their asses, unless he doesn't find you attractive, then he will be passive aggressive about it and treat you like the other men.
When you are promoted to shift lead, you are made to work the position without the promised pay. Most shift leads don't actually get the raise until a month after they've taken on those responsibilities, if you want a promotion at Marcos, you must work the position without the raise in pay for up to a couple months. They are saints for coming into work everyday, if they knew what they were missing out on, Marcos would have to close, nobody would work there. I was let go because I had an issue being on time, and that is fair, but the standard that he has set is not fair. Last October, an older coworker was undergoing some sort of bipolar episode, and was extremely toxic to be around. Screaming at coworkers and destroying customers property because they didn't tip him wasn't enough to get him fired. The GM and the coworker were good friends outside of work, so no consequence or actions ever were taken even after he destroyed a customers front yard light. Eventually, he got in my face, and threatened to fight me. I almost called the cops, but he quit and left. I reported it to the GM and his assistant manager immediately, the Assistant manager was super apologetic, but the GM seemed bummed that he lost his friend at work. So the GM's favoritism and incompetence almost led to me being physically assaulted in my workplace. I spent 3 years, working 4-5 closing shifts a week, always leaving the place as clean as time would allow, honestly afraid to speak up about the gross sexual misconduct of my boss because of past trauma, afraid to speak up about my coworker getting in my face because I didn't want to lose my job, but you will lose it anyways, because I was late. I almost wish I destroyed some property instead, maybe I would've won his respect, but what is a perverts respect worth anyways. Fall in line behind the GM, or lose your job. As long as he works here, I suggest anyone considering applying to stay away as far as you can, this is an extremely toxic workplace, and I hope the other workers see this review so they can leave too, They are some of the best people I have met, and they don't deserve this. The customers were the best part though, delivering to them meant I got to escape that place for a good majority of the shift, and they always tipped me well for it! 99% of them at least...
Also the Marcos Logo on the roof of delivery drivers cars do not light up at night, and scratch up your roof, the GM's response "deal with it".
Don't deal with it, don't put up with him, he is a terrible boss anyhow, the words positive reinforcement don't even exist in his vocabulary, unless you are a woman, they are his favorites. read more
