"Women's voices are not valued in the same way as men's. "

"Women are primarily hired for customer service positions and are rarely promoted or hired for higher paying departments. "

"They love promoting men and they also start them out at a higher hourly wage. They also make the women do all the heavy lifting and taking care of the customers while the men stand with the manager and learn about what it takes to become a manager. They stand there looking at paperwork and books and get the comfy treatment while the women sweat and work they're butts off for the most rude and entitled customers. Not worth it at all. "

"Try not to get pigeon holed into bakery or deli"

"A variety of opportunities are available for management as long as you stay with the company for awhile. As long as you are reliable and willing to serve your customers, there is no problem getting ahead in the company. "

"I believe that women and men are treated equally in the corporate office."

"if you are a female wanting full time the only departments that might give it to you would be deli or bakery departments the rest you would have to be a man. I have been fighting for 7 years to get full time."
