      People make all the difference

      Business outlook

      Pros

      Worked with some great people at the "lower," operating levels. Lots of hard workers and people with great personalities.

      Cons

      Upper management has their heads in the clouds. Poor leadership and out of touch with reality of how work gets done. Most are concerned about their title and reputation rather than the business as a whole or the people working for them.

      Corporate structure and politics behind the "Start up" name

      Business outlook

      Pros

      - Really passionate people who care about the customer both B2B and B2C - Solid product, great engineers and product manager - Savings students money and helping bookstores regain market share in today's cut throat retail world

      Cons

      - outrageous amounts of politics for company with 100 people - very little transparency, execs don't care to trickle down messaging to employees - paying employees below industry rate, if you're not an executive, prepare to be low balled - heavy on executes and not enough people to execute When Bookrenter changed its name to Rafter, the startup culture went with it. Execs care more about their wallets than their employees. All start ups have to do more with less but when you skim on your team while throwing lavish parties, it sends the wrong message.

      Business outlook

      Pros

      Company with simple business proposition with management executing well. Great place for motivated people looking for start-up experience and to be part of a game changing landsacpe.

      Cons

      Lots of hard work. Start-ups are never a place for faint hearted or people looking for status quo
