Appalling childish management
The good thingsNever had chance to find out
The challengesGot position and next day was COVID shut down. When things started up again I did not hear from them. I contacted them by phone and email but never got to speak to management. All staff resumed work but they never even spoke to me. I was not paid the day that I did work, they just wiped me after I had left another job to join them

I really grew as a loyalty marketer. My boss was very supportive and was passionate about what we could achieve. He was someone who really delivered on strategy.
The good thingsBooks, books, books. It’s such a wonderful product to work with. The authors, the publishers and your colleagues who are so knowledgeable. And let’s not forget the customers who also love books.
The challengesBooks are a commodity so the competitive marketplace is very challenging.
