Hey, I just found this awesome community and decided to join. I have worked for Books-A-Million for two and a half years, and to this day (which, by the way, is also Employee Discount Day!) I still wonder why I have stayed. Ever-changing co-workers, for one, and the most interesting menagerie of customers, for seconds. Anyway, I am the SWIFT

Disgruntled Bam employee also

[anonymous]

I've been working at the Bam for almost 3 years now. i might be becoming a manager soon. but i don't know why i stay. The pay sucks, customers are dicks, the GM is a bitch and is two-faced, and did i say the pay sucks. i've been there for 3 years and i am one of the better employees there (hence i've been there 2nd longest when everyone else has only been there like a few months) and people who are getting hired now get paid more than me. What crap is that? Yes i do get a raise soon so what!? I'll be making probably as much as the new people are. The company in general just sucks. My boss thinks that we want to make bam our life but none of us do. My boss holds a grudge over people who want a second job and is against a female swift person. She doesn't like *girls* lifting heavy things. My friend has been doing swift for more than a year and is getting criticized for being female. She is the best damn Swift person you could have. She normally breaks down our 5-7 pallet trucks in day and just recently worked like a 16 hour shift to make sure it was done, and made sure the backroom was neat for a dm visit. It is like we are cursed for being female, but face it men we are the better workers at the bam.. All our men coworkers just don't work. Us females carry the whole freaking store. But yet our GM thinks we need to men to do the truck. We don't need no stinking men. lol Don't get me wrong they are nice to look at but the picking are slim where i work. Well that is enough ranting for now. Peace
