I just got my first real job?

Question

I just got hired at a local salon in the fitness room. My job is to maintain proper upkeep of the room (dusting, sweeping, ect.), cleaning exercise equipment, greeting people, and helping with exercises. I will be working six and a half hours a day three days a week and they are paying me five dollars an hour. Is this a good price? This is my first real job and I'm not very informed, but everyone I have spoken to has said this isn't right...

Answer 1

It sounds like a minimum wage job (no offense...I am glad that you got one!). If that is at or above the minimum wage in your state, then I think that is okay. Get out of there quick if it isn't.



If you really aren't satisfied, then work there for a few months and keep applying for other jobs. Do not quit. It looks bad if you quit for reasons like that, unfortunately. Really...it's easier to find a job if you already have one because you can show your potential employers that you are already a worker. You're just looking for something better.

Answer 2

Ask the person who hired you if they knew what the minimun wage is today,not back in the 1990's,and tell him to add some type of health insurance,vacation,sick time,personnel days,unpaid breaks,or paid breaks.He will probally tell you to hit the road,if he does tell him your going to call the labor board and report him,just to shake him up a little bit.
