Pros

No positives. They are a fraudulent company.

Cons

They'll fire you in an instant if they think it will up the owners stock price. No loyalty whatsoever.

Pros

Great mission, great customers, good work/life balance.

Cons

Book Fairs administers their operations bonus plan morally wrong. This is the worst run bonus plan that I have ever participated in. They either change it several times during the year or they don't tell you what your targets are until 10 months into the year. It is impossible to achieve a full bonus because they manipulate the plan so frequently during the plan year. Due to the elimination of the Regional Operations Manager level, there is no promotion opportunity. They change your job title, but you still do the same work for the same manager. Continually hiring from the outside for operations leadership positions. No succession planning for senior operations leadership positions.
