Just don't - Anonymous employee Robinsons Bookshop Employee Review

Best coworkers ever, you'll meet lifelong friends suffering in this hell together

- Owner is pure evil and lives to bully her staff. - Stores have to promote far-right books and get almost no stock of Indigenous/BIPOC authors. - Not allowed to celebrate Pride Month. Making our own displays was cause for disciplinary action. - Owner blames low sales on managers instead of her own divisive politics and the increasing price of the books. - Creativity is not allowed, any displays you want to make that are not ordered by the owner must be removed, even if they are generating sales. - Senior casuals do not get level 3 pay rates despite opening and closing regularly. Seriously just work at literally any other place at this point.

Working with books and lovely customers! Author and book events were a blast to host

Ineffective upper management. Problematic CEO Unclear direction for in store expectations Lack of staff to cover hours and inflexibility in allowing rostering to be completed internally within stores - thus rosters were created unfairly/not aware of daily staffing needs
