      I worked at Lifetouch full-time (More than 10 years)

      Pros

      I loved the work I did

      Cons

      The men I worked with were abusive,did not want a woman working there.I worked there for 18 years.I ended up retiring early. I knew I could not handle the constant abuse any more. Upper management nor H.R. helped me. H.R. was busy protecting the company and my bosses were part of the problem. Here is just a few things that happened to me. Once I was told to go lay down by my dish,was tripped right in front of my boss somehow he didn't see it, was called a very bad name several times, found out from other employees lies the men were saying about me. I worked with all men in my department. I ended my career early, a job I loved because it wasn't going to stop, I was physically ill from stress, and no one would help with the situation. My Dr diagnosed me with PSTD because of nightmares that I was having about work.

      Advice to Management

      Look into the matter so it does not happen to any one else

      Advice to Management

      You can and should learn to improve communication with all Lifetouch employees...not just management. I hear the same complaints from my co-workers and have expressed my concerns to management but my voice is not heard.
