Q&A With Baker & Taylor Employees

Horrendous. HSAs with high deductible

Horrible. No work from home capability unless you're the top 1% of their workforce.

Extremely low. Spending is nit-picked down to the penny while you have other departments that openly waste money.

Simple, phone interview with HR, followed by in person interview with HR, and then hiring manager. Some departments have candidates come in for a 2nd interview with other team members.

Global Publisher Services is having great difficulty in obtaining new clients

Better Pay, Better Work/Life balance, better healthcare insurance. Pride in the facilities is a must, Offices are old, dirty, and outdated and makes the company feel 'tired'. Maintenance and management doesn't seem to care about stains on the carpets, desks falling apart, dirty walls and lights out.

Communication has improved with the new ownership, usually get weekly or bi-weekly updates. Executives allow certain failing departments to continue to waste limited dollars and resources

Fairly good. However, in IT, you are expected to be on call one week every 3 weeks and do not get any extra compensation for it.

Yes, Sales Team

See below Hourly: 1-4 years - 15 Days 5-14 years - 20 Days 15+ years - 25 Days + All hourly employees get 2 Personal Days and 1 Floating Holiday Salaried: <1 Year - 15 Days 1 - 4 Years - 19 Days 5 - 9 Years - 23 Days 10 - 14 Years - 26 Days 15+ Years - 29 Days All Salaried Employees also get an additional 3 Personal Days and 1 Floating Holiday

Promotions are hard to come by at Baker & Taylor. You practically have to be someone's 'favorite' to be able to move up the ladder. Hard work and extra hours does not equate to a promotion.
