Pros

The company employs some wonderful people.

Cons

Sweat shop environment. Don't buy into Hobby Lobby's philosophy of being a Christian company who treats their employees accordingly. Managers work 65-75 hours weekly without it being the holiday season, as a co-manager and store manager you work 2 14 hour days a week with a half hour/hour lunch on those days...managers often open and close on those days all by themselves. This company is task, task, task...super killer employer for an individual with high work ethic. The company drives their employees like brutes...not exactly Christian in my book...more like slave treatment. Hobby Lobby's mission statement is " Honoring the Lord in all we do by operating the company in a manner consistent with Biblical principles. Serving our employees and their families by establishing a work environment and company policies that build character, strengthen individuals, and nurture families." DO NOT BUY INTO IT!!! Working employees to death and cruelty does not build character....
