If Benefits/Salary Are Supreme in Your Life, Work at BH.
Pros
Salary, Benefits, and days off.
Cons
Many employees, both in the store, and in 440 8th ave HQ, will never speak how they really feel about the company, out of fear of retaliation. They claim there is none, but working here for them, for years, you would have to be a fool to think there is none. They is a strange structure, one for Jewish employees, and the other for non Jews. You see Jewish employees move up with no qualifications for the positions given to them. If you are non Jewish, they is no way to take some positions unless you are qualified for it. Many managers are like baby sitters in the store. They don't even know the insides of the equipment that many of the employees sell. They micro manage you with the software they call Time Track. I've seen them discriminate against non Jewish women. I noticed that they have now improved with women, but they give the promotions to woman who just join the company instead of giving it to some girls who have been there longer. I've noticed that they promote Caucasian women more than minorities. They easily write you up for little things, so they can build a paper trail to justify never letting you move up, or to terminate you in the future. I've seen colleagues of mine retaliated against. I've seen hundred of employees furloughed but the company does not seem to care to check up on them to see how they are doing. I thought that the company really cared about it's employees. But I guess during this pandemic, it only cares about the ones currently working. I was in a meeting where managers did not even come to the meeting with mask on . And these where Jewish managers. HR is a joke when it comes to trouble shooting problems. They are just there to protect the company, and not really help with the over all well being of the soul of the employee. Mr Schreiber, the owner, has been good to me. I cannot say anything bad about the owner. But I wonder if anyone cares enough to tell him that some people are not really doing good for the soul of the employees. If you ask a Jewish employee, they tow the party line, and will not say anything on record. Even some of the managers in the store talk bad about the upper management, but are too afraid to say it publicly out of fear of loosing their jobs. Like I say, it's like the story of Faust, if you think that the soul of a job is Benefits/Salary, work here. If you think that a job has to feed the soul, and motivation of the human spirit, then don't work here. It will suck the soul from you if that is what you seek. I've toughed it our because I have a huge family to support, so I'm stuck here. If I was young, and single, with a sense of a soul needs, I would not be here.
