Former Bookseller in Columbus, OH. An ok company but this district is A NIGHTMARE.
Pros
Getting to work with books, good discounts, participates in charities, casual dress code, can borrow merchandise. That's pretty much it.
Cons
Low pay, terrible hours. Verbal and physical threats from customers on a regular basis. Often have to work on your lunch breaks. Sexist and racist hiring practices. Does not enforce sexual harassment procedures. FREQUENT sexual harassment from customers and coworkers. Terrible morale and verbally abusive management. Inefficient use of time and resources. Promotes recycling but does not actually practices it. Allowed certain employees to use illegal drugs during work hours. Company is growing too quickly. They're cutting benefits, salaries, profit sharing and firing long time employees so they can afford to open more stores than the company can actually afford. Unsafe working conditions. Very restrictive sick leave.
