Steadily Going Downhill - Anonymous employee Half Price Books Employee Review

They keep taking away our benefits. The profit-based bonuses are gone... the insurance isn't as good as it used to be... and while they raised the store minimum wage, they slashed our hours making it not a raise at all. The hours are HORRIBLE and completely random. The dress code keeps getting stricter and stricter to the point of making HPB just another bland corporate chain with no soul. They are becoming less and less environmentally friendly by investing more in brand new books and crappy gift items that hardly ever sell. They're losing what made them great.
