GVP Position Eliminated

It’s getting harder to survive in a GVP role. Now with the elimination of a GVP role (mid-atlantic) that’s more work for an already strained team. Dilute the support, dilute relationships and dilute the outcome! :(


IT Getting Hit With Cuts

In the never-ending pursuit of saving money, the IT department has lost two more critical employees in favor of steering more work to the offshore folks. Best of luck communicating with FSC and getting any help at all now. The IT group was already... — read more 


email captures

this email capture bs is sooooo annoying!!! no one wants to give me their email when they are buying a .10 cent scantron or a candy bar, no matter how many times I ask! pushing us to do more work with no incentive once again!


MLs are benefiting who?

I have a ML who never physically works, shows up in the store for 1-2 hrs twice a month and is always complaining about how much work they have. But they are asking everyone else in the store to do the work for them on top of the tasks they are... — read more 


Gone all together

Funny that they let me and most my stores staff go a year ago thinking they could have just one person running the store only find out that the school due to lack of transparency and staff to help the students have gotten rid of Follett all together... — read more 


The CVS to Follett pipeline

I swear if one more ex-CVS Health exec starts working here, we should start doing flu shots in the course materials area. Tell us you're filling the company with c-suite buddies instead of investing in the stores without telling us.


Student CEO?

If there is one thing Follett is good at it's cutting payroll. Congratulations to the new student CEO. follett is teaching future leaders how to treat their employees poorly.


Staying open longer than usual

Digital delivery fee

Did the price go up again? $5.99? How is this keeping the cost down for students and encouraging them to "do digital?"

Unsellable Garbage

Anyone else being inundated with expensive plastic trash garbage they are expected to fit somewhere on the floor and sell? Just the most id--tic things for us to carry!!!! No one wants a plastic boba tea LED light for $30. Not to mention the 10,000... — read more 

Settlement from Follett?

Heard some people got checks from Brittany v Follett for $$$ - anybody know what that’s about? I want to know if I’m supposed to get one. Hahaha

Incompetent

The level of incompetence at OTC is unparalleled. How they can use the acronym OTC “One Team Center” is Beyond me. Give the stores the autonomy to run their business and actually support them. What a joke.

Low inventory

All of a sudden my store isn’t getting convenience snacks shipments or Apple restock— what’s going on??

This is Follett

Read this on FB and related. “There’s a big difference between a job that is ‘challenging’ and a job that pushes everybody to their breaking point with unrealistic expectations, no support and no recognition”. Hope all who were terminated or left... — read more 

What are salary ranges for FHEG now?

drinking water

Has anyone else had an issue with not getting their water coolers refilled or cleaned? My manager who took over the store 2 years ago hasn't refilled it since. I complained to the HR number and they said, although the OSHA requirement for... — read more 

Access to Follett Alumni MyHR

MyHR does not allow us to see the exact start and stop dates for the locations I worked. I worked more than one location due to a promotion. I emailed the fheghr@ email, and only received a link for Zen desk which we don't have access to. Any... — read more
