Positive Reviews From Follett Corporation Employees
- What did you like most about the interview process?The in person interview was nice.
- What did you like most about the interview process?It was not a great interview and market leader clearly had no idea how to do it. Leave it to in store management they know the job and what to say and were very helpful.
- What are some of the best things about your team?The staff I worked immediately around were kind and good people
Constructive Feedback From Follett Corporation Employees
- What's going wrong and how can it be improved?I do not think there can be any improvement at this point. All control has been stripped from the local campus store. Corporate is all about profit - not helping the students.
- What does the leadership team need to get better at?The leadership team has no idea how to successfully run multiple small businesses. College bookstores cannot be run like large chains but they refuse to see how their decisions are harming their low level employees and customer base.
- Why do you feel undervalued and what would make you feel better about your compensation?No benefits. Executive greed is rampant
