RG also mentioned that success is measured by hitting your numbers. Hmmm...to me success is not only hitting your numbers...it's also about what you do to hit those numbers. So in my eyes...you and your overly staffed executive team hitting your... — read more

RG mentioned that we need to hit our numbers because that is what we promised to do. Funny, I don't remember anyone asking me about my budget. And I sure the hell didn't make a promise that I would hit it. He also mentioned that he is accountable. He... — read more 

Is there anyone on this page who has left Follett and is much happier? I'd like some encouragement!

Did anyone else notice the audience in RG's grand town hall? If you watch, it's the same loop of people doing the same random things over and over. In particular, watch for the blond woman picking at her light colored sweater sleeve and the... — read more

Not only are posts being pulled here where individuals are expressing their rights, but, as usual, more fake reviews of Follett are surpassing the truth on other sites.

I'm thankful that fewer posts are being put on this site. I wish every employee the very best and thank you for serving your customers each day on your campuses across our country.

How can we have a full time marketing VP if our guy lives in Wisconsin and only spends 3 days a weeks in the northeast. And you wonder why B& N has an upper han.

For a company that pulls in billions of dollars in sales how can we be so dumb and not turn a profit. I call shenanigans. I bet the Follets are taking a "salary" from the company still. Get your hands out of the cookie jar!

Wow. At least all of the recent decisions regarding our benefits and compensation were made "with the well being of 'each and every associate' in mind and are true to the Follett Values." There are just no words.

Had my first interview today. Sort of sad. They asked me why I left a long term job, said I haven't, yet, looking for replacement first. I hated every second. I don't have that many years til retirement, older you are the more difficult to change. I... — read more 

Glassdoor accepts input from employees about their employers. It's helpful to job seekers. Follett pays folks to post pretend reviews. Their reviews counteract negative reviews. Their reviews also keep Follett's "star rating" the same. Here is an... — read more 

Follett should do away with textbooks in stores that do poorly in text sales and go 100% online via the warehouse with competitive pricing. Keep stores that are profitable and staff them appropriately. If your store/campus does no have financial aid... — read more

What is HR's job? Ours has done nothing but harass me over an incident brought on by a disgruntled employee, was quiting anyway, that I did nothing wrong. Doesn't even know the new vacation policy. I hope they got pay cuts & have to punch in & out. — read more

Folks, it's all about adding value. Think about. What value do you add? What do you bring to the table? Relationships with he campus. In some cases this matters. But the relationships don't mean as much as they used to. They can and will find someone... — read more 

Has anyone discussed thie "store manager impact' with their school contact? How it might affect store hours, etc.

I don't understand why these stores are outsourced to begin with. Anyone have any ideas?

There HAS to be something we can all come together and do to make something change. FHEG can't survive without us and our stores. So for those of us that love what we do, and love our jobs, but are fed up with getting treated like crap, what can we... — read more 

Ray G promoted his gal to SVP. What about controlling costs!

If you are wanting us gone so bad...buy us out. It's that easy. We aren't going to quit like you want us to.

If the rare few who are still at the stores get the chance, LEAVE. I've been out since April (not the Fall layoffs like this board swore there would be) getting a check from another place is so worth it. While my new job is horrible, at least this... — read more

You can only work so hard for so little. Stop busting your butt, being devoted hard workers for no rewards.
