Great people, so-so management - Customer Service Representative UIC Bookstore Employee Review

They understand that your a student and school comes first, so they let you create your work schedule.

Hours shorten during the school year.

Flexible scheduling, sometimes understanding of school situations

Employees are referred to as "kids" or "students/student workers" but aren't allowed to do homework or (ironically) read. Store loses business after the first month, store will be completely empty, but managemen would still rather you do nothing then do homework (despite this being an on campus job). Management is constantly on top of you for every little thing you did or may do wrong. Upper management constantly emails bosses about every wrong clothing item you wear or every time you are seen standing and doing nothing. Never allowed to sit, even when store is empty, but can't stand and do nothing. Can't even stand at the register, always to find something to do which entails obsessive daily cleaning or meaningless tasks like picking up scraps of paper from the entire floor. And worse? Pay is less than minimum wage at $8.50. Not worth it.
