California District is a dumpster fire - Bookseller Half Price Books Employee Review

Pros

- Good discount - Decent benefits

Cons

Everything else. Customers are demanding and downright rude with impossible expectations when it comes to selling. Slave wages all the way around. Every bookseller at my store lives with family, you can’t afford to be a grown adult with a real life and expect this job to support yourself. Constant staff turnover because of the low wages. Favoritism is absolutely real.

Pros

Great coworkers. Get quarterly bonus checks. Not a super hard job.

Cons

Mangement is kinda iffy and they really require you to do a lot more work than you're paid for.
