Books-A-Million Manager:   (Current Employee)

Pros

Employee discount and book check out program are pretty much it at this point. You could get better perks most anywhere else.

Cons

Pushing management and employees to the brink on the Discount Card and Magazine for Millionaires program. Reminding the managers almost weekly of how bad unemployment is in this country right now, to illustrate how lucky they are to have jobs period. A company that is proud when it cuts the hours for a store, but increases projects. Managers end up doing all of the work here because that one employee you can afford on the sales floor needs to stick right by the register so they can greet each customer as they walk in, but still ring people up, too.

Advice to Senior Management

Don't be proud that you cut salaries in the store, but increased projects. Don't brag that we haven't laid people off in the field, when we have in fact cut everyone's hours, to the point that some quit, because they couldn't afford to live on the small number of hours we had to cut them, too. Don't be proud that you made money, but squeezing even more out of a already worn out staff.
