Pros of working at Barnes & Noble

You work at Barnes & Noble obviously because of the books and the people - you’re part of an enthusiastic community in your co-workers and favorite customers. It’s a joy to be able to curate displays, lead book events, and share my favorite reads.

Cons of working at Barnes & Noble

while there are some exceptions, by and large management at every level is problematic: lack of accountability in regard employee wellbeing, micromanagement and inconsistent application of policy, gossip and favoritism shape workplace polities and dynamics, non-compliance of HIPAA through workplace gossip The CEO is so out of touch, his company wide emails and updates lack self awareness - union busting; speaks highly of “honorable booksellers” pay and promotions are minute; stores across country are falling into disrepair

Customers were great for the most part. If you love to read than working at a bookstore is beneficial. You meet new people and the coworkers for the most part were great to work with.

Cons of working at Barnes & Noble

At my particular location, management was hard to work with. Specifically the store manager. Many work-related issues were never addressed and there were many times that employee concerns were ignored.

I enjoy reading, so being able to help others find things they may enjoy is really fulfilling. I also like shelving books, because organization is key.

Cons of working at Barnes & Noble

The current manager doesn't always curate the most positive work environment and puts a lot of responsibility on the shoulders of booksellers when they could be handling these things just fine.

Pros of working at Barnes & Noble

A majority of your coworkers are great people to work with and everyone has their own passions and expertise. The discount is good, great even. I also found an exposure to so many different subjects, authors, and points of view concerning familiar titles to be really motivating in being the best that I could be.

Cons of working at Barnes & Noble

There’s definitely a stark difference between the Pre and Post Daunt eras of B&N (he’s the current CEO of the company by way of Elliot Advisors). The company allocates fewer resources for employees with each passing day. Their scheduling system keeps a skeleton of a crew in the store so it’s hard to balance customer service with job duties.

Pros of working at Barnes & Noble

Workplace culture is great socially as all employees typically have a desire to work among books so everyone will almost always have something in common in terms of hobbies. Employee input on store changes is usually valued. The wide variety of stock makes the job more interesting as there is something that almost anyone would be interested in

Cons of working at Barnes & Noble

Pay rate is low for the large amount of work and efficiency required of even the entry level booksellers. Higher ups value efficiency over all things which makes for a stressful and high-paced environment. Above all else it is no different than other retail jobs

Pros of working at Barnes & Noble

I love meeting new people as well as being abreast of new books, the latest magazines. I love helping someone find just right the book or product. Additionally, the employee discount is a great benefit.

Cons of working at Barnes & Noble

There are not enough people who work each shift, so I feel like I do is run around like a chicken with its head cut off. I can't possibly address all the customers' needs, and so every time I go in, it's frustrating. If someone calls off (which happens frequently), the whole night is over for the rest of us

My store was very flexible with scheduling allowing me to work and attend college classes. Also liked the store discount.

Cons of working at Barnes & Noble

The only negative aspect of working for Barnes and Noble is they are open 7 days a week and during the evening, so having a weekend off is difficult.

My favorite perk/benefit was the store discount including the coffee shop located in the store.

Do you feel like you're ripping people off with your prices when i can get books for half of what you guys sell them on Amazon?

Not really. When you're paying the list price, you're supporting the physical book store. Sales might be declining due to the number of people doing online shopping now, but sometimes we do have promotions that create comparable savings to Amazon. Also there are those people who are willing to pay a few more dollars if it means getting the book instantly rather than waiting for shipping. I'll admit I do still do my fair share of shopping on Amazon as well, as I'm sure some of my other employees do too haha

What's the most interesting thing you've ever found people doing in between the shelves?

Thankfully nothing too terrible so far!! Actually, in recent memory, last week we had this couple who made a little spot in one of the far corners of our store. They were there for probably a solid 5-6 hours and they would be cuddling, or making out, or giving each other massages. Wasn't really sure why my manager didn't kick them out, but it wasn't the greatest sight to pass by whenever id walk to our break room or have to shelve product in that vicinity. Like Motel 6 aint that expensive people! xD

I'm so jealous! I love books, and I thought it would always be cool to work in a Barnes and Noble. My questions are: Do you enjoy working there? Do you have a college degree? If so what is it? Do you enjoy reading? What is your favorite genre? How many people do you work with? Describe an average day working there Thanks for doing this!

I'm happy to do it! :) Thanks for taking the time to comment! Let's see.. -I do enjoy working for them! Ive worked a few different jobs from fast food to other retail to waiting tables, and this is my favorite job yet. I can rarely recall times when I've told myself I'm gonna look for a new job and I hope to stay with them for maybe a couple more years! -I dont have my degree yet. Im working towards it right now, and almost there! Haha. A bachelors in Kinesiology. -Reading is great! Unfortunately i don't get as much time right now to leisure read due to textbooks and such, but I definitely pop open a book when I can! Definitely hard to pick a genre, as when i got hired, I knew i wanted to read from multiple so i can relate to as many customers as i can! Although i will say i probably enjoy fiction the best! -Total my store probably has about 30+ employees, including our cafe staff. On a usual workday, i probably work with 8 others, including managers, cashiers, baristas, etc. -On an average day, Im actually in charge of the bargain department. So i come in at 7 AM, 3 hours before the store opens, shelve the new product and rotate quantities with higher quantity books from the back. And I also try to fix up all my tables and displays so they look nice when we open. After opening, Im at the customer service desk so i greet people as they walk in, ask them if they need any help finding books as i walk the floor, reshelve books as we find them misplaced around the store, answer the phone and tell people if we have an item in stock and ask them if they want us to hold it for them, and yeah! I also back up the cashiers if a long line forms! B&N is a great job, and definitely look into applying if you get the chance! The people are great, customers and co workers, and I've definitely made some lifelong friendships. Happy to have put in my 2+ years with them!

What is it like being the captain of a sinking ship?

I used to worry about this, but actually Barnes & Noble College is more profitable that Barnes & Noble Inc. stores. The college company is expanding and will likely be here to stay even if the regular Barnes & Noble stores go under.

What's the salary for a retail manager like yourself? I work in corporate America and am always curious how much retail managers make

Depending on what type of manager you are I think it's between 30-50 a year usually. Obviously more the longer you've been with the company. Check out the website Glass Ceiling, it has some good resources in that department.

Why don't you guys price match your own website? I seriously do not understand this policy at all.

Here's why website prices are cheaper: To buy online, you purchase it on your computer. We have someone at the warehouse put it in a box, slap a label on it, and UPS picks it up and drives it to your house. To buy in store, warehouse packs up boxes, ships them out country wide to delivery hubs. Those hubs unload the trucks, redistribute the boxes based on which store they go to and pays a driver to deliver those boxes mon-fri. Then we have employees who receive them, unpack them, sort them, then shelve them into the sections. It's one person to do the work vs. about ten.

do you get better rates from ingram etc... than regular booksellers?

As an employee we get the same discounts for all books. As a company it depends on the title and quantity we order. I'm not sure what the markup for other companies are but I've seen books ranging from zero (we make NO profit when the customer buys it) to 80%+ (usually remaindered out titles that go in our bargain section).

Hey! Just wanted to say that I have been to your store MANY times. I always receive excellent service, and I always enjoy when people who work in the store notice what books I'm buying and talk to me about them. (In fact, I guess I have probably seen your face before. XD if I can say that in a non creepy way.) I love the feeling of browsing for books you didn't know existed, opening up the pages and flipping them over, heck, even That new book smell. I'm genuinely terrified at the thought of book stores closing and being taken over by online retailers. I've read lots of articles about B&N having to close down it's stores in he future. As someone who works there, can you tell me how much truth there is to this? Do you notice things that make you worry about how long your store will stay open, or are you pretty confident that you guys will be there for a long time? BONUS Q: Your thoughts on The Fault in Our Stars? EDIT: Do you love to read? If so, what are your favorite novels?

Sorry the address in the picture is from our HQ, I don't work in NY but thanks! We've closed a handful of stores in the past 5 years, but we've also opened some. We have something like over 600 stores I believe. I think if digital drives us out it will take another 10-20 years (if I had to guestimate). I really enjoyed Fault in Our Stars. I actually saw the movie first. I usually read SciFi/Fantasy. Nightfall is probably my favorite.

Are you looking for a new job? And what do you think of Nook spinning off into its own business? If it matters, I write for a living, so I'm a bit in tune with the industry and everything I hear does not sound good.

Not looking for a new job. I have 10+ years with this company and 5+ with my previous employer. If for some reason I need to find another job it shouldn't be that hard. *knock on wood Nook is separating because as a digital product it needs to be run by a digital company. Each store has one or two "tech savvy" employees to help with nooks, otherwise it's just general help. Again, I think the focus on physical stores is browsing. Getting rid of bookstores would hurt the market in general. Think of music 20 years ago vs. today. There's variety now but it's a lot harder to find and break out than it was back then.

From your personal experience(sales trends, revenue, etc), do you think B&N will go under in the next 5 years?

No. From the sales reports I've read our stores are profitable. And as a company, if you're making money you stay in business. Brick and mortar we don't have a whole lot of competition. People still love books, kids HAVE to read them, so we'll keep selling them. Our downfall will happen when the following criteria is met: eReaders become cheap digital book browsing becomes easier older generations become more technologically compliant or stop purchasing books altogether

Between you and me, mate, is there some universal Barnes and Noble code used to get free books?

The only books employees get free are strips. They're the small mass market titles. When we get rid of them (they don't sell/old) we tear the covers off and recycle the books. Employees can snag the books. Practically free, ask around when it's time for clearance. Right now we have one going and it's all 50% off. But it will go to 75% then two bucks per item. You can really find some worthwhile stuff a lot of time. $60 board games, $50 lego sets.

How much do you personly make? Also, how much would a new hire starting employee make?

I'm low on the totem pole, so I make between 30-35 a year. Starting employees are usually between 7-8 dollars if you're being hired part time. Full time (we call them "leads") tend to go a buck or two higher. It all depends on the store/location and your work experience.

What is one thing you wish you could change about BN?

Sales focus. It really seems that the company is more interested in saving money than making it. Managers will gripe about tables not selling, but they have a corporate list - so we can't take them down and put "better" books on them. Employees and customers hate how little hours/help there is working at one time. There are stores in my region where the store beat their sales goal but failed to make their payroll goal and those management teams didn't get a raise. Saving $ > Making $ It doesn't work.

What are your thoughts on people that just walk in to read instead of buying something?

General consensus of employees are: if you don't make a mess and put it back we're fine with it. In the cafe? Buy ONE drink and as long as people aren't standing because all the seats are taken it's fine. I know some stores got rid of lounge chairs and bench seating. I've seen people reading on the floor. That's a little odd. Also, summertime people like to soak up our AC.
