Pros
If you shop at B&H, the employee discounts are nice. Reasonable benefits. Nearly impossible to be fired.
Cons
While your experience at B&H will largely depend on which floor/department you work in and who your manager is, there are issues with B&H's company culture that prospective hires should carefully consider before accepting an offer. First, B&H is deeply, deeply entrenched in an antiquated business model so if you don't like working in a cubicle that hasn't been cleaned since 1980, you probably will not enjoy the workplace in the offices. While they are currently WFH on Fridays, you are expected to be sitting at a desk from 9-6 Monday through Thursday regardless of your job title. Nearly nobody in management comes from a photo background or understands the photo industry beyond sales which quickly becomes tiresome for anyone working in creative roles. It has been a slow bleed of senior creative talent since B&H has returned to the offices which has led to demoralized, unmotivated teams. Workers bond over their collective exasperation and frustration with management. B&H also gets away with a lot of things that a public company could never pull off. Conservatively, 80-90% of management in the offices is the same gender and ethnicity. Countless managers are appointed with no qualifications beyond being related to someone or having dirt on someone higher up than them-- with exactly the kind of results you would expect. This is a company where the head of HR is the CEO's sister. You will also be celebrating Jewish holidays which is fun at first (if you are salaried, that is-- hourly workers have to cover many of those days with PTO). However, you have to use PTO to cover national holidays if you don't want to report to your cubicle on the Fourth of July for example. For a company with so much potential, it is a shame to see what it has become under its current leadership.
