Low pay, cleanliness, horrible supervisor.

The company's business model makes profit nearly impossible - due to the automation system system (which relies entirely on the image on the cover) the most valuable books they get in are destroyed while the books they DO sell are often misidentified because image search does not and never will work. To compensate for this employees are routinely saddled with obscene levels of overtime, and anyone who has been there for a while (and thus has accumulated multiple annual raises) is subjected to incredibly toxic working conditions (including "random" drug tests that double as strip searches) or simply framed for fireable offenses. Key departments were systematically sabotaged by management to make them look unprofitable enough to justify elimination (which looks good to investors) and the company routinely runs at the very edge of financial collapse.
