Barnes & Noble, Inc. Reviews
What is it like working at Barnes & Noble, Inc.?
Interesting.
Barista in Grand Rapids:
Pros: I love the people and the discount. It feels like we are all friends and its an incredibly warm and welcoming experience. I genuinely have friends and have fun, and I love my job as a barista. I would love to stay, but feel theres not much opportunity for growth
Cons: The pay. Compared to other places, I am extremely underpaid. Additionally, we have poor staffing, so frequently I close the café alone, and as the specific Barnes I work at is in a mall, the employee parking lot is a far walk.
Awful.
Sales Associate in Christiansburg:
Pros: I love the books, and customers
Cons: My store manager said i need a dr note to use the bathroom or sit down
One of the best retail jobs I’ve ever had!
Retail Store Manager in Hampton:
Pros: Creativity, great customer base, great product (books!), fantastic benefits
Cons: Extremely limited advancement opportunities, primarily due to inept mid level decision makers
Business Development Manager in Framingham:
Even with the recent new management, company is understaffed, and overworked employees are underpaid and pressured to focus on selling memberships rather than focusing on customer service and selling books. Talented employees are leaving as a result for better environments and better pay.
Frustrating.
Assistant Store Manager in Tampa:
Pros: Books & people
Cons: Constantly changing goals rules and priorities
Book Seller:
Pros: The coworkers are wonderful, the job itself is not immensely difficult.
Cons: If you apply for the bookseller position, be prepared to be sucked into the cafe at any minute, without training, because they're short staffed. The customers can be extremely rude, sometimes unforgivably so. The pay is not enough for the amount of hours they will schedule you for and what you're required to do, from shelving multiple v-carts to harassing customers for memberships to cleaning up huge piles of books on the floor from people who can't just take out one book at a time then put it back.
No pay for college degrees.
Sales Associate:
Cons: No compensation for college degrees.
