To echo another commentor here, if I could make what I make now being a bookseller at B&N, I would do it in a heartbeat. You can borrow books (to be a knowledgeable bookseller), get 50% off the cafe if the store has it, and the workplace environment is usually awesome (being a bookstore, it attracts fellow book-lovers!). Len had just resigned as CEO, and the guy from Sears had replaced him. That said, the store I worked at as a high schooler was amazing, as was the store I worked at while looking for full-time employment. I worked at Barnes & Noble at a time when the company was in flux. employment type: contract job title: General Labor / Certified. The Sales and Marketing Operations Manager is responsible for supporting the sales and marketing of Barnes & Noble College’s academic solutions including First Day and First Day Complete. Likewise, the location where I live now is not fun to shop at, so I would not want to work there if I was currently looking for work. Get the right job in Richmond with company ratings & salaries. The store I worked at as an undergrad was pretty horrible, and I actually resigned in my Junior year because it was not fun. Happy employees usually give good service, so it's a good sample size. If you enjoy shopping at the store itself, then it will likely be a good place to work. It really depends on the store that you work at. I've worked at 3 different Barnes & Nobles over the years (during school -high school and college- and while looking for a full-time, salaried job after college). It is more fun when you're selling a product you're passionate about though. B&N is a bigger store with more people working but other than that there isn't much difference. The manga section is also constantly packed with loitering teenagers who never put the books back on the shelves. A lot of people treat B&N like the public library though and expect you to help them do their homework. I would have some nice conversations with customers about books and authors here and there.
Along with that I also had to regularly wander the store straightening shelves and putting away merchandise.

The work itself consisted of hanging out at the desk and looking up books on the computer for customers and then either ordering a book for them or helping them find it in the store. That may have just been the managers at the store I worked at though. They were also really disorganized about scheduling which drove me nuts. They paid a bit better than minimum wage which was nice. I only worked the information desk and it wasn't any different than any other retail job. I worked as an x-mas temp there a couple of times years and years ago.
