Belltower Books Response

Thank you for the feedback. At Belltower, we strive to provide the best value for our on campus reps and the students we serve. One of the most important takeaways from this position is that you get out what you put in to your work. With proper planning and a solid work ethic, our reps can expect to earn anywhere from $300 to over $1,000 during buyback weeks on campus. The textbook market can be difficult to navigate, but we are dedicated to supporting our campus teams by developing extensive lists of high value books to target. We appreciate your contribution to Belltower Books and hope you'll consider reapplying so that we can work with you to improve personal performance.

Pros

As an employee, I was able to work on my own time. Other than two short training sessions, my work was up to me. I was very independent.

Cons

This job is not worth the pay. For the amount of hours I worked, I did not get paid what I should have. It is also a lot of manual labor, as many of the books are very heavy and you may end up having to carry a lot of them at a time across campus. I went into this job with a back injury and did not realize I would have to be running around and carrying that many heavy books. Lastly, buyback is always during finals. Therefore, if you really want to make good money you have to work very hard for Belltower, taking away from study time. This job added stress to me at a time when I was already at a high stress level.
