That CNS is called the center of excellence!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

This business is run. People need to be relieved of their jobs for complete lack of business sense. It's amazing how much money is lost due to the Kmart, Sears and Office Max people.

Retalon was turned off this week suddenly for fall ordering from vendors... ???

A list of the H1B visas that Collect has sponsored. http://h1bdata.info/beta/index.php?em=Follett&job=&city=&year=All.The H1B Sponsor must inform US workers of the intent to hire a foreign worker in 2011 by providing notice of the filing of the LCA... — read more 

Amanda Sevilla in the Ecom Department has caused the company a lawsuit. From what I hear, it's not a frivolous one. Her mouth and behavior got the company in legal trouble.

Who here is excited to see exactly how botched this back to school season will be? The Neebo nimwits will be kissing butt. showing everyone at the mother ship how tough they are, all the while searching for another job just in case the FHEG guys are... — read more 

I have a sneaking suspicion we're about to see a massive push to market directly to the college market at the expense of the middleman (Follett) to rival McGraw-Hill's douchebaggery of late. With all the HO promotions, think anyone'll notice there... — read more 

Amazing, and yet two more announcements of several people getting promoted at the home office. We do more with less and the HO keeps adding and promoting. Stop before it is too late. That new CEO does not know how to say no.

I don't see how the ego's of the kmart folks can fit in a single meeting room. Arrogance and disdain of Follett employees.

Course tracks seems to be geared towards schools who have the campus's cooperation. Follett's buyback, rental, and pricing structure is non-aggressive and complaisant. We seem to be letting more money walk out the door now than we have in the past... — read more 

Tanaka and Sasaki pressured business divisions to meet difficult targets and knew they were overstating profits and delaying the reporting of losses, amid a culture of not going against the wishes of superiors, the report said.Koichi Ueda, an... — read more 

First checks were supposedly strapped to the back of a tortoise and sent to our mailing addresses. ...actually were sent usps which may be worse. Direct deposit wasn't an option. Hope nobody needs this money to live off of

Quit spending money. Four promotions to vice president of sears/kmart/OD employees here only a year to Vice President. As we can all see now, MLS was not the problem with the layoffs/firings and hiring of friends from kmart/sears/od etc. It is all... — read more 

A drunk on it's ass monkey could do better.

I'm still here with Follett and while things appear to be better they are not. This Neebo acquisition just proves corporate's lack of ability to roll anything out right. The communication has been extremely poor and from what I hear there are no... — read more 

Why is my GVP such a condescending douchebag? Discuss amongst yourselves....

Wondering what the deal is with this HR department. Looks like an incredible amount of turnover including some people who leave only after a short time period. Based on the posts on this site, it appears morale could not be at a lower level. Yet, the... — read more 

Good honest insight that is shared by many associates. When I get angry about all of the BS going on, I just imagine that Follett is gone. They managed to wipe out almost every single dedicated, intelligent employee they had, to replace them with... — read more 

For as long as I've worked here (about 4 years now), there has always been animosity and hatred between FSS and us. I haven't been able to figure out why and my boss can't answer either. She just tells me it's always been that way. Any ideas?

I love how Follett justifies cutting benefits by saying they are meeting industry standards. Like 'industry standard' is a good thing. Come work for us. We promise to compensate you no better than the lowest paid smuck in the industry. Buy from us... — read more 

At one national meeting, they had some singer sing an original song written for FHEG employees? "You're The Difference" it was called. Felt like crap then and is downright hilarity now. Anyone still have access to that song?

Follett laid off two vp's one in HR and one in IT and they just hired them back after a few months. WHY would they do that? SS decision making does not have clue. More IT promotions in the home office to senior VP's and VP's. How much overhead can... — read more 

First CD left, now he's back as VP of business technology and transformation. What's up with that?

Glassdoor is a great resource when looking for work. employees post reviews of the work place. Often HR or management will post shill reviews, too. They're easy to spot because they're vague and glowing. Here's an example of a BS review posted by... — read more 

Wow am I pumped after my meeting! So many things to do, so little time and so few people to make it happen.

You have to be down to 80 hours of PTO by Dec. 26, 2015. You also have to use your floating holidays by Dec. 24th. That is BEFORE the mandatory holiday shutdown. That means you have to use 32 hours of your rollover amount for the shutdown, leaving... — read more 

It's amazing to me that Follett has fallen so far, so fast. They once had choice locations on campuses and could have leveraged that access to students in hundreds of ways...that is to say if they had bothered to look up from their shrinking textbook... — read more 

Only the bottom feeders left at HO now...the ones who have no talent or ever had an innovative thought. Same goes for the RMs...not a lot of value added from them.

I was told about Layoffs.com and I jump on here from time to time to get a good laugh. Have any of you worked for other companies? Try working for a publicly held company and this Follett stuff looks like kindergarden play. Seriously?!?! If you left... — read more 

I suspect the release of these 'confidential emails' is probably staggard at this point to zero in on those leaking the information, but I feel a responsibility to pass along changes as I hear them. So, for all those in the Higher Ed Group; after... — read more

Retalon is doing PO's for fall. How long before text managers get shown the door?

Quarter 1 is ending and financials are down. Will it turn around for fall rush.
