I got a job where I'm asst. manager, I get paid min wage, I have random duties where I have to do more than the other workers and I get less hours than others. Is this wrong or what?

No. The best workers, the people that get promoted are the ones that do what they are asked even if it goes beyond what their "job description" says.
You may not get the rewards for it today, but complaining is never the answer. Work hard, take a constructive argument to your manager for more money. And if you've been a hard worker that doesn't complain you will likely get what you want.
If you don't, you leave and work somewhere that you're appreciated. Your former company loses a good employee and your new company gains a great one.
The positive attitude always wins in the end.

That depends on your length in the workforce.
When I was only in the workforce a couple years I would have loved that job because I could carry the Assistant Manager title on my resume to my next job interview.
Many assistant managers work 70 hour weeks but get paid only for 40 so less hours may be a good thing for some workers.
Min wage does suck, but it also depends as well how quickly they promote assistants to full fledged managers.

sounds like it is, but when they hired you, did you ask for a job description so you know exactly what you are supposed to do? If you are an asst. manager, you should expect to do more than other workers. Pay has no bearing, if you didn't like the pay you should have asked for more before starting or not taken the job.

Yes, you are being taken advantage of. No, it's not a legal issue. It's a minimum wage job - quit. Or take a demotion to one of the minimum wage jobs with less work and more hours. Why be ***'t Mgr if there's nothing to it but the title.

No he's getting paid relatively. He agreed to the income and the section time hours whilst he started. It became into good fortune on your loved ones that he now's getting an entire-time income out of it. What he can do is on his annual evaluate state all the accomplishments that he has made and request a enhance. you additionally can negotiate an advantage/referral value for all new contracts that your husband brings in. So if your hubby keeps a clean shopper a 4-10% bonus of the settlement cost could flow to him plus his 10.00 hr for wages.

This is a classic case of the trade off between job title and responsibility. It is amazing how many people fall for the old "you a manager in training" line only to find that it does not mean more money, just more responsibility (and perhaps a very small amount of extra prestige).

Without a doubt. If you are an assistant manager you should certainly be getting paid more than minimum wage since you are more accountable than the people you supervise.

You're making minimum wage as an assistant manager?
Where are you working - a sweat shop?
