Could be great, settles for good - Anonymous employee Half Price Books Employee Review

Users say... "Great benefits for a retail job!" "This seems to be a running theme in the majority of these reviews: great coworkers." "The people I worked with were great and I made some lifelong friends." "Quarterly bonuses and other bonuses" "for retail, good insurance & PTO/sick plans" 

Users say... "As always in retail the pay is low but it''s made up for in benefits." "Lots of micromanagement, poor management, and lack of/poor communication." "While store management receives training just as the booksellers do, it doesn't always seem to be consistent or uniform, and some of the managers have been there so long that they may not have received any kind of 'management' training at all." "Poor Upper Management Leadership experiences" "In my experience, training was adequate and seemed to follow a formula, but as new employees came in during my tenure, I felt like they were not getting the same information and thus took more time and energy to show them the 'right' way of doing things."
