Barnes & Noble
Intern / Student Worker: I loved working at Barnes & Noble! The co-workers are some of the nicest, genuine people I've met. The job itself was quite stressful, as I was a barista and we were quite understaffed when I was employed there. Although, communicating with customers was rewarding, especially when they would recognize how I would be working 9 hour shifts completely alone multiple times a week as a 16 year old high school student during the school year and reassure me that I was performing well. I worked 25-31 hours per week there; and that's just during the school year! I worked well over 40 hours in the summers, when all I was hired for was 15-20 hours. This eventually was the reason I left after management failed to fix the complaints I had about this. All in all, Barnes & Noble is a very chill, nice environment to work in; if you're a) a bookseller or b) a barista who isn't apart of a workplace in which you are seriously understaffed! I would definitely go back if I wasn't overscheduled anymore!
