I worked for a "Christian" company when I was super desperate, circa 2008/2009 during the great recession.
It was the type of place where we started every meeting with a prayer but ended each month with us employees having to beg the owner to give us our pay check. They used every trick in the book to emotionally manipulate us and to avoid paying us.
As I said, I was young and desperate at the time. I could practically write a novel about all the shady and ridiculous bull shit I put up with, but at the end of the day it was the hypocrisy and the fact that they did not pay us employees our wages that puts it at the top, just above the abysmal treatment from Home Depot. At least Home Depot paid me.
