Pros

Work/life balance allows you to disconnect when off the clock, half day each friday and decent employee discount on many items. Some positions allow for growth.

Cons

While in the store my first year, I saw an employee refuse to shake someone's hand because she was a woman. This was for religious reasons. That attitude is built into the fabric of B&H. Very few women work in the offices in positions other than assistant, there is a divide between those who follow the religious customs of the company's founders and everyone else. After 13 months of successful remote work, the CEO decided that remote work is bad and despite concerns about safety, happiness, efficacy and employee retention, the company is better when everyone is in office five days a week, even though one of those is a half-day. Many people have quit. Many more have sent out their resumes. I feel bad for managers who have to replace them. Each email the CEO sends makes things worse. His sister took over HR during 2020 and made an already ineffectual department worse than useless. HR now refuses to get vaccination status from employees and claims it is up to us to police other workers even though we cannot know anyone's status. Catch 22 is a good book but bad look.

Pros

Some nice co-workers across different departments They only hire because people keep leaving.. so if you need a job to fill a role they have, they will take you to fill a position.

Cons

-Extreme workload and high expectations for little pay. -PTO has to be used for a Jewish holiday if you want to get paid. They give you a mousepad showing if you will get paid on certain days. You work all year long and regular employees only get 1 day for Christmas, Thanksgiving and New Years. -Micromanagement and consent surveillance. You are tracked on the computer and how long you stay in a program or if you are away from your desk for too long it will get flagged. -They hired a new company from the outside to monitor you as well to the point where you can't use your phone. They want to give you a flip phone. -Very toxic management and HR staff... very unfair and will give you zero give if you need to work from home.. they will tell you use your PTO. -Zero career growth whatsoever, everyone. -Favoritism gets you higher up in the company. -Very behind in tech & software on the corporate side but they want to have the latest for the vendors. -High revolving door, very churn & burn mentality. -End to WFH on Fridays... You will only be coming in for 4 hours... tough if you are traveling from far away... -Zero culture and no work-life balance
