15 Anonymous Employees from Barnes & Noble submitted reviews

2 I've worked at Barnes & Noble for 2 months now and it's cool. I liked the job because of the location and also because I knew I wouldn't get too many terrible customers. But this job sucks. Management is terrible. They pay minimum wage and we do so much work. It takes over a year to get a raise and it's only 25 cents. The whole atmosphere is kind of depressing and they make it clear that they don't care about their workers, it's all about the customers. The training is no good, they fire you if you don't sell memberships, managers have the worst attitudes, it is very boring. They don't give much hours. The job is physically demanding and they aren't lenient with workers who may still be in school. All in all, the job isn't too good. Even the music is bad!

2.1 I would focus more on the employee culture, valuing their input and appreciating their efforts. Attrition is high due to the old school hierarchy which doesn't engage its employees at a personal level.

The management was different at each store. I had a wonderful store manager in Texas. He was the epitome of what a store manager should be. He was a hard worker, passionate, and he made work fun. That needs to be present in every store manager, because it can trickle down to the rest of the management team, and in turn, the employees.
