I loved working at Barnes & Noble! I have worked in the Cafe, as a bookseller, in receiving, and even filling out educational orders and rare was a job I did not enjoy. I love books so being in an atmosphere surrounded by them all day made it rarely feel like work. The management was amazing, always ready to help and encourage you. Also, since B&N's new owner took over the changes have only been for the better. (Myrtle Beach Location - The Market Commons)
Working at barnes and noble is a great experience! You get to work with books, which makes it more interesting than other retail jobs. The people who work here are generally younger, which is nice, and everyone is interested in reading! It's nice to get to help customers pick books.
I love the environment, store discount, and flexible hours this job provides a busy college student like me! The management at my location genuinely cares for its employees and work with you to meet your scheduling needs. The only thing I would like to see change is training out on the floor. While I did receive training, I did not receive a sufficient amount. My actions out on the floor and interacting with customers in the beginning definitely could have been smoother in the beginning had I been allowed to shadow others and given extended training.
