Pros

Closed on Sundays, except at Christmas and New Years when you have to unload deliveries so the truck drivers aren't on the road for the holiday.

Cons

Where do I start? Too many ex Walmart managers with bad Walmart habits (me first mentality) looking to use Hobby Lobby for their benefit. HL is hiring them by the dozens and they use and abuse everyone they can (must be the walmart way). As a Co Manager I was salaried (read slave labor) and pushed to the breaking point by my SM and DM. What I thought was a great decision for my family turned into a nightmare!

Pros

good pay. 6 paid holidays.

Cons

Distribution center only cares about numbers, not employees. Keep your production up to 90 or above or you're a goner. Fellow employees wil mow you down trying to pull their items. and if you're slow, look out, you have to get out ot THEIR way. And of course you can't make your production if you can't work and have to wait for others to fill their orders.
