Bull Moose

Overall, I enjoyed working at Bull Moose besides a few glaring issues.... One problem I had with the job is that there is no set training schedule/rules. Not that a company needs a set training schedule, but it has helped with learning specifics about tasks. Sometimes it would feel like I'd learn something one day from one manager, and then it'd either be at least 2 weeks before I would even have to do it again and make it hard to remember it when I have only done it once prior and I'd be doing it with another person most of the time, so they had no idea what I had done previously. Or I'd get told to do it a completely different way by another manager 2 weeks later and make the previous learning I did pointless. Then it'd come back around and I'd get told what I was doing the first time was correct, and that the other manager was wrong. Basically a cycle of never really doing anything correct.

Also, 90% of the time, there was little to no communication between the managers and the employees about shifting locations of product at the store. So one day it'd be in one spot and another the next, and if you did not know where it was moved to then tough luck because you'd never know unless you asked or happened to notice it/needed to find it for someone else.

bull moose can be hard. but most the time it is a 40 hour job so it's good to have. the part i disliked the most was closing, in a city where almost everywhere closes at 9pm, this job don't close until 11pm to 1230 am so for almost 3.5 hours the store is dead and it can be boring. however during the day this job can be very fast paced with selling new and used movies books and music people come in from open at 9am to almost close around 9pm. this job can be very demanding. there are allot of meticulous things that need to be done on a daily basis that you can get written up for that makes no sense. ie... in this store there is always different music being played the reason is because every hour or so one of the employees will pick out a used cd and play it...however you can get written up for things like this if your music pick is ....to repetitive or vulgar and in some stores the manager won't allow any music that is to hard like acdc led zeplin, disturbed. or other way around it can't be to soft or slow. 
there are allot of things that you can get written up for. however for the most part once you know what your doing it can be a pretty easy place to work with a decent environment.

It can be a fun casual job for a while, but the expectations for employees are very high from the start, especially when you consider the low compensation by comparison.

The company likes to exaggerate its “family oriented small business” image, while at the same time not caring for the welfare of its employees on an individual level. Some managers are truly great, but this varies drastically by store. There’s no unity and each store handles situations entirely different from one another.

The pandemic proved largely that the company loves its image, but will always do the bare minimum required in regards to employee safety. Employees voices were not heard, and many employees have left after seeing that they were being ignored. It’s a bad look for the company overall.

I have never worked for a company that rewards such bad behaviour. I watched a fellow employee who was also a shift supervisor with the company hack into a coworkers email to see what was being said to upper management about their behaviour. In addition to that egregious violation of privacy this employee was late everyday, posted negative comments about coworkers and customers on social media, and just stood behind the counter reading. Management just ignored these actions. This person has since been promoted. The only thing that kept me there so long was I loved the customers and felt they deserved someone there for them.  

Great place to work.  It's not as "chill" as everyone thinks but its s team environment. As long as you can smile, approach people and have positive energy, you'll be successful and enjoy your job.  Managment listens and works on all levels. If you're positive, upbeat and like a fast paced environment,  then this may be the place for you.  It's busy, be prepared, there's no chillin' and hanging out with your significant other.

Bull Moose has been my primary place of work for the better part of 9 years, and not without reason. At first it was a part time job while attending college, and now I truly consider it my career. 

While every job has its highs and lows, and you may not always get along with every single person you work with, I truly feel that the good outweighs the less so. 

The people met, memories made, interests shared, and overall sense of community I’ve experienced within my store and outside of it is something that I value highly. 

I became a Key Holder at Bull Moose music. My duties included putting away DVDs, CDs, etc., answering phones, filling requests and preorders, stocking new arrivals and assisting customers as well as running the cash register. Some of the requirements were unclear, such as needing to enter your own name and password on a computer before using it, and only became clear once the mistake was made.

This company is beyond dysfunctional from the top to the bottom. Very poor and toxic culture. The job is often far more stressful than it needs to be due to the unreliable work ethic of fellow employees. Most redeeming part of employment is the job itself and the employee merchandise discount. Every location is different in its environment and work process - there is no continuity in store expectations. 

Low stress, thorough training, inclusive atmosphere, upbeat higher ups. You feel like you are a valued person and not a lifeless machine when you work for Bull Moose. You get to meet a lot of really cool people, co-workers and customers! A lot of chance for advancement. You can make it a career if you want to.  

Worked for this company for many years in many positions. Incredible place to work. If you love music, movies or video games it's a great place to be around like minded people.
