Pros

It was a job during college.

Cons

Nebraska book company came in and bought my bookstore out and 2 years later had run it into the ground. They are treating a college bookstore like its Target like retail store (where the vice president came from). Marketing came out with "Neebo" which makes nooooo sense. They wanted to make every store a Neebo store but they don't have any money. They are bankrupt. Know the store I was talking about? They bought ~100 stores around 2010 and in 2012 they closed 50 of them. Bought too many stores and spent too much on the Neebo thing. My bookstore gave slight raises after a year. Neebo will never give you a raise. I was a supervisor and had to fight tooth and nail to get pay bump.

Pros

Many of the other managers are awesome. The dress is casual due to the nature of the job. There are benefits for full-time employees and there are annual trips for management.

Cons

It is well understated that many of the stores are more than limited on staff. In other words, there may only be one person there- you! Most stores are on a limited hour schedule of only 20 hours per week when it is not busy. This is a shock if you are hourly (which the company is moving towards for all positions) and are not allowed additional hours. Many students feel there is too much to learn for the low amount of pay received for compensation. Training is difficult because it takes a lot of time to either ready manuals, ask someone by phone, etc., and yet daily there will be tasks sent to you with deadlines and priority.
