"I have worked for Barnes & Noble Education for what will be 8 years in July. Due to economic decline pertaining to the Coronavirus and having to relocate the growth with my company has come to a halt which could be permanent. Great company and I have grown quickly and managed many different facets of the business but it appears that I may not have to ability to grow any further."

"Been working at my location for close to 3 yrs. Although flexible with my schedule, I don't feel challenged enough. Majority of my shifts are on the register. Rarely get projects. I feel like they think I'm not good enough to do other things."
