Walmart & Kmart do this too. They make everyone managers and then apply 
subtle pressure so nobody leaves and keeps working all night long. And, 
salary managers don't get paid overtime.

They do it because they can get away with it and there will always be 
someone else standing in line to take the job after you tell them to 
shove it, so, if you are not getting anything out of this job that you 
really NEED, like experience, then tell them to shove it, tell them why 
and go get a job. Respect yourself for crying out loud.
