Nebraska Book Co. Employee Reviews for Store Manager

"The worst place I've ever worked."

What do you like about working at Nebraska Book Co.?

"The summer hours are good. This place makes you look for another job because it is so abysmal."

Do you have any tips for others interviewing with this company?

"Find somehwere else to work. This place is just horrible. I've ran many retail stores and this is the biggest Mickey Mouse organization I've ever seen."

What don't you like about working at Nebraska Book Co.?

"No training. No raises. No Support. They still use DOS as their main system. Everything is outdated and it is hard to provide customer service in 2012 with a system from the 1980s. You take complaints all of the time because you aren't able to fill customer needs because of the roadblocks the company puts up. The corporation is laughable as a whole. They won't even pay your store's utility bills on time. The accounting system is a huge waste of time and paper."

What suggestions do you have for management?

"Test things out before you roll them out to the entire company. You need to get better POS and inventory systems in place. Stop looking at spreadsheets and look at actual stores. Stop cookie-cutting them. Dartmouth is not the same as OU. The buyers are a joke. It's embarrassing when you run out of notebooks the first day of classes."
