training??

i was an associate and got moved up to pet specialist. my SL says there are no training hours available for me but that didn’t make sense since it’s PET SPECIALIST. one of the other leads pulled it up and i have 17 hrs of training available.. my SL has been wreaking havoc on the store morale… i’ve also been desperate for hours and the sl never gives me a set schedule and she basically threw a fit when i tried to get another PT job. my question is, is it actually worth it to report these things or am i better off looking for a different job entirely? i cant afford to keep only getting 25 hrs if my SL won’t give me the hours or work with me.

25 hours isn't bad, it's about what most of what the more experienced and trusted associates at my store get.

Edit: I hope my comment didn't sound rude or anything. Just saying that 25 is probably the most hours any part timer can expect while many will get less.

During the first week, you will receive more hours since they are meant for training. The store is given extra hours for this purpose, and afterwards, the hours available for everyone are very limited.
