How employees describe working at Grubhub
Just a background check is all !
Making sure there actions match their words and incompetent people are trained and/or replaced.
My compensation plan has changed four times this year so far. I now make 1/2 of what i made for the same number of sales 4 months ago.
They arbitrarily close and open accounts then coincidentally forget to add any trial or promotional service to the reopened account- seems fishy.
Customer support reps violate independent contractor rights and open up loopholes for the company to get sued for fraud
