In reply to the discussion: "in need of Christian employees." [View all]MANative
(4,188 posts)18. A few years ago, I interviewed for a senior-level job at Subway's Corp HQ
in Milford CT. The process was arduous and very long (months) and I decided not to take the job for personal reasons (a lot too much travel for my liking). What I learned during that process, however, was that all franchisees must abide by a very strict contract, which I reviewed and studied. They are very explicit about non-discriminatory hiring practices and following both the spirit and letter of EEOC. I'll bet they'll be in a bit of hot water with the offices in Milford along with any other grief that - deservedly - comes their way. Franchise licenses have been pulled for a lot less; Hammond Group has a lot to lose if they don't clean up their act.
