A year and a half later - Anonymous employee DeSerres Employee Review

It used to have a good amount of discounts for employees until Renaud bray cut off those many benefits and discounts Deserres used to offer.

Renaud bray purchase of the company sucked the soul of the artist within the ranks.

The people I work with are awesome and the job is pretty chill and rewarding as far as retail goes

If you stay for a long time you will have more and more responsibilities added without sufficient pay increases (sometimes with no pay increase). New parent company is known for aggressive union busting with multiple locations of their book store going on strike recently and I don't see them improving anything except profits. Other recent policy changes (like removing the points program entirely etc) have been putting us in a difficult situation with customers, even regulars are telling us that they are going elsewhere for art supplies now.
