Hal Leonard

I enjoyed working at Hal Leonard sadly had to leave since pay was minimal. They would rather pay 50 people to stand around then pay good workers to get the job done. While I worked there people never took their jobs seriously a lot of slacking off in the warehouse and when I would start working they would wonder what you were doing lol. It's an easy job for someone who doesn't want to do much no matter how much or how hard you work here though you never seem to get ahead with pay or management. If your a warehouse person your just a number to fill and hear excuses about no money for pay even if you more than meet there numbers for the month. Good job until you find something else.

I loved working at Hal Leanoard, my co-workers at the time were amazing and the job was fun and the bennefits were also great, plus with getting free books and having an amazing discount for anything that Hal Leanoard owned was the best part!
My favorite part by far was the change at the 4 hour mark so you wouldn't be stuck doing the same thing for 8 hours.

The hardest part of the job I would say is the first month where your stuck doing picking orders all day.

The most enjoyable part was seeing all the different items they had and wrapping them up for orders and talking with co-workers while doing something that was pretty fun.

What is the best part of working at the company?
Everyone was willing to help you out if you needed or leave you be if that worked better for you. It was a very flexible staff.

What is the most stressful part about working at the company?
When there wasn't enough music to workon in your department so you had to go to another department to help them.

What is the work environment and culture like at the company?
Very friendly and supportive.

What is a typical day like for you at the company?
Fill in at various tasks throughout the day.

Toxic workplace with incompetent management that favors one shift over the other two. A lot of "he said she said" drama that, while mildly irritating on it's own, did effect management and job tasks as well. Pay was okay, but less for women doing the actual bindery work.

the day was split between picking products and packing them. so I would spend the first 4 hours picking orders off the shelves, then the next 4 hours packing orders other people had picked (or vice versa)
I really enjoyed the time being split up, kept it fun and made the day go by quicker.
Management was always friendly and close by ready to assist if needed

This is cake work with some heavy lifting and bending at times. 2nd shift is laid back but 1st shift is strict and very gossipy. This place will fire you in a heartbeat. Upper management is lacking and some lifers are ready to get you fired as fast as you walk through the door. In 8 years I watched at least 2 to 3 hundred people come and go.

Clean place to work with good insurance.  Paid time off accrual has been improved. Paid Holidays, Sick days, Personal Days and Vacation. Pay is average. Work is OK but somewhat monotonous. Management is pleasant but rather distant.

Solid company whose core business is print music; the trade book division is a small arm of the company. Unique in that it focuses on the performing arts.

The warehouse manager rarely showed interest in the employees, only caring about their numbers. If you did not pick items fast enough (determined through a very flawed system where picking 450 pieces of one item was considered only one item), you were scolded in your review.

I have been an author for Hal Leonard Publishing since 2008, and I am honored that they keep signing me to publishing deals. My new book, AC/DC FAQ-Everything You Wanted to Know about the World's True Rock and Roll Band will be published in the spring of 2015.
