Barnes & Noble Education Reviews

Pros

Good customer service retail experience

Cons

Not much guidance if you are new to retail

Pros

Being a bookseller was super easy at the college I was at. It was a very small store.

Cons

During the year where people are not buying books...which was most of the year...there was really nothing to do but stand around and we had to pretend to be doing things.

Pros

Benefits, and the workplace environment are great.

Cons

Sometimes management can stand in the way.

Pros

I worked at my school’s Barnes and Noble college and had a very pleasant experience over my 3 years there. Management was extremely flexible and understanding of employees, of which there were many, and it was the perfect job to balance with going to school full time. I was able to learn so many skills that I’ve been able to apply to more advanced, non-retail jobs. Really a good job to learn responsibility, customer service, and various other tools to get ahead.

Cons

Honestly, nothing aside of the typical drudgery of doing cash register work. Pay wasn’t the best either, but that’s to be expected unfortunately.
