It is a known ongoing policy to rid anyone who has disagreed with anyone from the new regime.

Needless to say, Big Brother IS watching this board, and if you are still working at FHEG, be smart about your computer usage. They track every website you use, and record every keystroke. Some departments are on internet lockdown.

Expect layoffs throughout the home office, but accounting now that they can "one follett" them under corp CFO. There will be many changes leading up to the move. They won't want to move everyone to the new building and then lay people off because of... — read more 

inexperience and common sense are two different things. many times common sense is key. corporate had a lot of experience and NO common sense!

No new ideas here. They don't have a north star.

And provide them soon! I would hate to think those in the field were laid off to pay inexperienced product managers with no common sense.

Please provide the new ideas coming out of the new product management group? Been a year and have not seen much. SKYO to OMS? Is that it? Included, Betterknow, FVB, SKYO and eFollett were all previous management. Employees use applications not... — read more 

If they have that to invest why wasn't there enough books and supplies for many of the students??

It's hard enough to save for college, work, study and pay off loans. Then you pay us min wage to work at your stores. Then you post you are investing 200 mil in IT with money you got from students to better our "experience". Well you should have... — read more 

Stands for " Not Any common Sense "

It's so FUNNY that you dread meetings. We have none. Communication in our store is like the "whisper game" in a junior high...there is a truth, and then it get's filtered down from one associate to another. Managers know nothing. Except Boss 1, who... — read more

It seems since there has been so much said about lack of communication, now we are all forced to have weekly meetings in order to brain wash us about how good the company is doing. Dear god! Just let me get my stupid work done and have less stress... — read more

You are right and it's a little deeper that that, Follett doesn't care one bit about the students, and the students here know that. They can spend their money and time creating all the little apps and projects the want, none of the students here are... — read more 

Ok, here is proof for you suck up, ass-kissing losers with no balls or spine that keep defending this company that they are trying to make themselves look better from inside. Those posts that praised the company on Glassdoor.com earlier this month... — read more 

apps performance awful.

The apps performance weren't that slow and a student will wait a minute or so like in other retail stores for what they need to finish a transaction. If what they need isn't even in the store there is no reason to worry about a application is there... — read more 

Students work with various versions of Window OS as well as the rest of us, hello. They don't care, what they care about as usual is if they can get their book and materials before class starts. You don't work with the students do you 0101? You... — read more 

brick and mortar college bookstores are over. And follett corporate are the reason.

It is because of this XP we are running primitive 32 bit store applications with serious performance issues. How many times did you have to wait for Soda, OMS, or other Follett applications to work?? We were also long overdue for network bandwidth... — read more

So basically ASU is going to let Follett loose ... or compete against them, a contingency plan?

With enough momentum from the UC Davis experiment, Amazon won’t just partner with bookstores, it will be the bookstore. As Tom C used to say, Amazon is the great predator! Follett store advertising Amazon job https://studentjobs.asu.edu/job/331... — read more

I figured book sales were bad when they postponed announcing financial results. If things were going well, they would have made a big announcement. We are all waiting to see how many get laid off this time. Morale is at an all time low.

They did the bounceback coupoon which was a bust! 20% off of certain used books. Save the sale which didn't bring much sales. Sales are down again and no plan in place to recoup those sales. The writing is on the wall, bookstores are dead. Follett... — read more

Not the experience I've had.

Those are the REAL posters, hard working, dedicated to the success of the company - many long term. Follett has lost its way and will go out of business. The industry is declining and morale of existing employees is even lower. Bonuses are no more... — read more
