      Pros

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

      Cons

      - 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.

      Pros

      Coworkers were all very nice people

      Cons

      The owner delights in cruelty to her staff and is actively opposed to making any minority groups feel welcome in the stores. Aggressively opposed to stocking any books other than conservative publications- will even stock dangerous conspiracy material over anything even vaguely “left”. Would not pay staff for working outside shop hours. Bullies staff relentlessly. Some shops are unsafe- no bathrooms or water, no way to store you lunch without it going bad. Staff have been harassed by customers, told to suck it up or quit. Staff has been forced to continue working when sick to the point of vomiting unse the counter. God forbid you take time off! Staff would be insulted and abused as publicly as possible. This is not a safe work environment.
