Petty owners, bad work environment

Business outlook

Pros

Great events and fellow booksellers can be wonderful people. Working in an independent bookstore is always a pro.

Cons

Owners are petty, unprofessional, unreliable, and disrespectful. Because of them I routinely refer to this as the worst job I've ever had. Work environment is just toxic.

Not Great! Pretty terrible, actually!

Business outlook

Pros

Coworkers are good people. Decent discount. Beautiful store locations.

Cons

Owners are cruel, unrelenting, difficult people. Often would get texts at 8am saying I couldn't take lunch that day because the store would be busy. Saw highers-up treat coworkers terribly. No consistency when it comes to staff schedule, lots of closing/opening shifts back to back. Demanding, nitpicky, micromanaging owners who love to come up with minuscule tasks to keep you on your toes. A culture of constant anxiety that was taking a toll on my mental health.

You accepted a promotion and still quit with no advance notice. No complaints either. And no, no texts of the sorry ever sent. Passive aggressive much?

Fun staff, bizarre and negative workplace environment.

Pros

The staff is wonderful and interacting with the customers is fun.

Cons

The management style is negative reenforcement, no matter how hard you've worked. No one is immune. Unyielding and judgmental people.
