Pros

I've been working at Booker 7+ years and have had a wonderful experience here. I started in entry level support when the company was under 30 employees and worked my way up to the management level. Booker always encouraged me to grow and challenge myself by giving me new opportunities. They sent me to AMA's Management Training and have invested in my learning throughout the years (books, seminars, etc). I have worked in 3 different departments during my years and have seen ups and downs in the company but overall have had a very positive experience and the company is in a great place now. My current role is in the Customer Experience department and the leadership is top notch right now, by far the best I've experienced in my many years at Booker. I have never been happier, not only with the leadership on CE, but just being a part of an outstanding team of people who help each other and share the common goal of making our customers happy, which in turn will make our employees happy. I have learned so much throughout my years at Booker and have met some of my very best friends here, too. The culture is really engaging and fun. I always have a great time regardless of what Booker office I visit because there is an open and friendly vibe throughout the company.

Cons

I don't have any major cons, the company is in a good place. My only negative is no 401K matching.

Pros

I really enjoyed working for Booker they have awesome people, Culture! What I enjoyed best about the role at Booker is that I really enjoy mentoring entrepreneurs and helping them create a successful strategy to manage their business that way they can focus on what they do best. This company is transparent and cares so much for their Customers and is committed to your success.

Cons

no on-site Gym, the pay is fair but I think is underpaid based on other employers in the tech industry.

Pros

- Great benefits - My overall comp has increased year over year - Time off is awesome, and you're not frowned upon when you take it - Career growth is something that actually happens - Fast-paced environment - Ping Pong and Kegs are always a plus - Great culture - Talented professionals - Collaborative environment across different segments - Brand recognition - Flexibility and autonomy given to consult with your clients - Networking opportunities here are endless NYC Management View: MBWA) / Democratic Management Approach. Here is why…. Mike H is an invaluable asset to our team. He has a Democratic / Management by Walking Around (MBWA) approach. He aims to involve all member’s of the team in the decision making process. He is very familiar with the SMB sales process and sales cycle which in the end helps me to land more deals. I have witnessed first-hand many sales reps at Booker develop and hone their skills within a short period of time under Mikes direction. Mike engages with the team and encourages a competitive and healthy rivalry while helping us to embrace corporate and team culture. This helps to drive real metrics and results. This level of management is characteristic I have grown to truly appreciate Mike for. He also engages with other departments, embraces change and lends advice to those in need.

Cons

- Here at Booker it's easy to become attached to your work, leads & accounts, and it often trickles over into your personal life after hours, or on weekends. - Quota isn't necessarily the easiest to hit. But I guess if it were easy I suppose they would let anyone in.
