    It’s the same where I work. Small family-owned business, benefits only kick in after you’ve been full-time for a year. I’ve been there 20 months with no benefits because I was only part-time the first year.

    They gave me a raise after one year but because my pay started so low, even with my raise I was still making less than what this other girl started at. We had been hired at the same time. In our first year there, I learned more and took on more responsibilities, stuff the other girls were afraid to do, did everything she did plus more, but even with my raise I made less than her starting pay. I was not happy and I let them know it. They caved and gave me the same rate she was at after her raise.
