Pros

Most of the customers, at least in my experience, are friendly. My work stays at work, nothing goes home with me to consume my personal time. We receive a 15% discount. The hourly wage is better than almost all of the other comparable retail jobs in the area and is probably good for singles and/or students working their way through college.

Cons

The schedule is irregular and difficult to plan around. The hourly wage is insufficient if you have a family to support. Despite claiming to be closed on Sundays to allow employees to spend time with their families and because Hobby Lobby is a Christian company, we do actually work on Sundays throughout the Christmas season and inventory time - basically November through January. When we get a lot of overtime during one part of they year, our hours get cut dramatically at another time in the year so we average 40 hours per week.
