Book Trolls

The workplace was very respectful of others being different. However, this is not a good company to work for if you want a stable job. I was dismissed in about a week, because I didn't consistently improve in percentage of pulling books. I never worked for this company before, and I was trying new methods, and ways to pull books. Some orders are also more difficult than others. I asked management if they would give me two weeks to improve, but because I plateaued a few days as a beginner, they didn't give me a chance. I think that one should work elsewhere for a more stable job that pays well. I think this business takes advantage of poor, uneducated people. This business is respectful of cultural differences, but this business really needs to reconsider their business ethics in terms of caring about people's effort working. This is NOT a good job for people entering the workforce, or veterans, or people with disabilities, as the pay is so low and the job security is so poor. 

They are very inclusive, every one is welcome. Depending on the department they are very strict. You must make up any hours you miss or else you get written up. They have very little patience. If you don’t pick up the job quick enough. They write you up. You have a week or two before they start writing you up. 

There are a lot of inappropriate relationships happening at the moment, most management are included. If a door is closed knock or make some noise so they know someone is nearby.

The benefits are okay. They offer insurance and paid vacation; but, no PTO, 401k, etc. They pay is meager. They offer bonuses depending on the department.

Overall it is a decent job if they like you. Otherwise they will get rid of you quickly. If this is the only job hires you then work here. If there is any other job especially one that pays better take it.

Company offers many great benefits like medical, vision, and dental insurance. They also have a 401K option for employees, and that plan does not require full vestment. The company just rolled out a PTO plan in addition to their vacation plan.

The company expects a full 40 hours of work from their employees, but they at least offer a flexible schedule. 

Job itself can be repetitive, but it's easy work and they allow you to listen to music while working. The business doesn't get any in-person customers, so there is no dealing with the public and dress code is very casual

I worked at the Houston Location tried it for a few days
Pro:
Ok The people there are really nice.
I donno who did the other reviews but the people are really understanding and nice, assuming you could do the work, stay it's worth it.

Cons:
NO AC in the Warehouse and Standing all day basically starts it off, if you can manage that you are fine. 

You are Basically expected to Scan 3 Books a Minute, which doesn't sound bad at first, what they don't tell you that includes moving around the 50 pound totes on and off the table, and when you fill a shipping box you have to move the box onto a platform.  

Anyway you would have to be a god at being fast with no AC and standing up all day to ever meet their quote.



It's not the most glamorous job, but it's easy and consistent. Training didn't take long, and then pretty routine after that.  Took a week to get use to walking around all day, but after that the job is easy.  It is hot in the summer but you can grab a fan or get one of those neck fans, and wear shorts and a tank top. Love having a set schedule that is full time and having the weekends or nights off. They do offer insurance and other benefits but didn't need it, but vacation is nice to get over time.

The work itself is very easy. The only issues are that it does get tiring since you stand all day and the boxes you carry do get over 50lbs (the job posting here on indeed said just 50 lbs which was a lie because it definitely more than 50) 
The pay is $12 hourly which is very little and underpaid. Management is okay. They definitely pressure you a lot and put daily quotas on you that are hard very to reach even when you've just recently started working there. They don't really care about you much, they pressure you too much and have you underpaid which does not make the easy work worth it all since there are too many cons. 

What is the best part of working at the company?
Terrible pay for the job.  No heat or air, very morning 

What is the most stressful part about working at the company?
None of the equipment we need for our tasks worked half the time.

What is the work environment and culture like at the company?
Hot, quiet. Lots and lots of walking looking for tiny book titles 

What is a typical day like for you at the company?
Clock in, given about 200 pages worth of orders. Each order has list of books that are for that order. You have to wonder around finding it and no the shelves are not in alpha or rder

Working at this book warehouse is a daily gamble with safety and sanity. Management's blatant disregard for employee well-being is evident in their insistence on using broken equipment, creating hazardous conditions at every turn. It's a chaotic environment where corners are constantly cut, and the risk of injury looms large, all while management turns a blind eye to the obvious dangers.


They are constantly added and change the policy. They add more and more responsibility to the job description. However they never go up on your pay. The management team has favorites and it is obvious who they are. They will reprimand you for doing one thing but not other employees. There's no a/c for the employees only the mangers. So when it's hot u will swaet like crazy and u will feel all 100 degrees outside. GUESS WHAT THEY CHARGE FOR COLD WATER. 

Enjoyed my time working at this warehouse until new manager came along. The whole environment of the warehouse has changed, employees are miserable that work in this manager's department. Any new employees that get hired don't stay to long cause of the attitude the manager carries. Lots of micromanagement. The job it's self is fairly easy, but unbearable with new management. Also,  the pay is not a living wage even at 40 hours a week.
