HPB has fallen on its face - Bookseller Half Price Books Employee Review

Pros

Health benefits, ability to check out media, good employee discount, hour lunch

Cons

Upper management is difficult to deal with and really showed how little they cared about long term employees when the pandemic hit. Around 75% of the staff was laid off, with many of them having worked for HPB for 10+ years. Favoritism runs rampant in management at most stores. Customers can be rude about the buying process and often offended by low offers. Not paid enough for the amount of work expected.

Pros

Great coworkers. Get quarterly bonus checks. Not a super hard job.

Mangement is kinda iffy and they really require you to do a lot more work than you're paid for.
