Pros

Full benefits from day one and free lunch on Fridays. There's a gym available to employees but no showers (at least not when I was there) so it was not used.

Cons

Just about everything else. Everybody worked in a single room in a warehouse which was kept at 60 degrees. Loud music blaring. No actual cubicle or personal space. I could barely hear myself think sometimes. There is a religious undertone to the company that you won't appreciate until you work there. You are expected to not only know but also abide by the rules of the Jewish religion, even if you do not practice. Management is dishonest and nobody has any idea what they are doing. The administrative assistant that was working there while I was employed was fired multiple times for refusing to work random hours and then brought back on.

Pros

* BookXchange is a fast-paced environment with a lot going on. The team is small, everyone wears a lot of hats, and there are a lot of opportunities to be exposed to different parts of the business. * Employees are a close-knit group. I enjoy working with the team here. * The owner has a sharp business mind and knows how to build and maintain relationships with customers and suppliers. *The team is relatively small, so there isn't much bureaucracy.

Cons

* Sometimes I need to work long hours. Nothing extreme, but it's not a 9-5 job. That said, busy seasons are fairly predictable, so it's not like I'm often cancelling dinner plans. * The environment is a warehouse, so it's loud.

Pros

Trauma bonded with other employees and made friends for life

Cons

Beware of this place and the owner! Business is failing and he treated the only people who cared about keeping it alive like absolute trash. Any time he was in the office you would get yelled at.
