Pros
The only real reason to work for Books-A-Million is the employee discount. This is offered on top of any discount already offered on the title which means you can purchase a top ten bestseller for elss than half its list price.
Cons
The discount card and magazine programs are vital to your continued employment and if the goals are not met, you receive a severe chewing out. The lack of real communication from upper management is reprehensible, and the lack of autonomy for each store or section manager is equally loathsome. The company's relaince on number crunching accountants to drive policy changes is ineffective. The lack of real-world expereince from upper management is annoying.
