While we do not feel the need to defend ourselves against these fallacious comments as we know our internal procedure, we do want to make it known that all allegations of harassment are taken seriously and are always investigated. We also have many female employees in management positions who are key decision makers in many areas and still with us. Our company was also founded by a woman, Jewel Abt, who worked and ran Abt for close to 70 years.

Almost all of our managers have started in an entry- level position and have worked their way up to management level. With their years of experience at Abt, they know the store better than anyone and have been a huge part of our success for over 85 years. We strive to keep our starting pay rates above average in the current workforce. We have recently raised our starting rates and have given raises to current staff to make up for the increase. If you did not receive your pay increase, you could have seen one of the managers. Our raises are based on merit and tenure.

This is quite laughable. If you truly worked here, you would know we prefer to hire full time employees over part-time. We are always looking for friendly, hard-working and well-qualified people we can invest in that will grow with the company long term. We have many employees here over 20 years; our longest has been here over 50. We take pride in partnering with organizations in an attempt to hire retired and active reserve military. Abt is a huge supporter of our law enforcement community, first responders, and military personnel. We value their skills and training. To make sure you have your facts correct: Our HR Director got her start in the medical field and has been in HR over 15 years. All of our Greeters are hard working and highly skilled talented individuals.
