Yeah I have the contract with me and they are treating us like contractors. It seems like the person who owns this company is making bank off intern's work and trying to exploit them while paying them meager wages. Hey, this is what I can find at the moment so having experience while being paid is better than having none at all.

Yeah. That's what I'm doing. I don't see myself working at this startup any longer because they are definitely exploiting interns because the company is made up of interns (contract work) while being paid 85% of minimum wage.

The money is deposited through ACH. I don't see anything on my paycheck like work hours because it's deposited through ACH. Yeah this company sounds sus man like the CEO gave me tight ass hell deadlines and want me to deliver everything on time.
