When I started working at SkyZone, I was excited about working at a place that I loved to go to. I thought of the fun that everyone had while there and assumed I would love my new job. Unfortunately, working at SkyZone was very different than going there as a customer. Working there, I had to tolerate unfair rules, annoying customers, a difficult boss, and low pay.
