Great place to work, awesome customers & fun merchandise. Love my employee discount of 15% even items on sale. - Department Head Hobby Lobby Employee Review

The customers are awesome and so is the merchandise. It's a lot of hard work if you are a department head but that can be rewarding if you take pride in what you do. Don't expect to hear "good job" or "that looks great" from management, they only know how to point out what is wrong..."I see tape residue"...."When did you dust this"....."Your glass needs cleaned"....."You can't leave until all of your stock is put out". It can get to me at times & I have a little pity party and remind myself that I just worked 11 hours without stopping (except for 30 min lunch) and my department shelves look so nice when they are full and my customers are enjoying themselves. I love getting to the merchandise and what items my customers buy the most of. I love the whole process; taking inventory of all the items in my department, placing my order for the next week, unloading my order from the truck, unpacking it, filling the shelves with the merchandise, and then listening to the customers that come in say "Ohhhh, this is sooo cute!". I don't need my manager to notice all the little details that I do to keep my department looking good, hearing the customers loving the little treasures that they find & then realizing its 50% off this week is enough for me. We hear a lot of stuff standing silently an isle away silently counting stock or zoning. LOL.
