      Pros

      If you can get full time the pay is good however doesn't compensate for cons.

      Cons

      Poor management follow through along with poor communication skills. Favoritism shown to certain employees. Managers lack good relation skills with employees. Lack of discipline for employees who abuse break time. Poor job training.

      Pros

      Closed on Sundays.Store hours 9am to 8pm allow for family time.

      Cons

      The message that upper management / corporate office portrays is not necessarily consistent with the message that store managers are conveying. Hobby Lobby prides themselves on treating employees right and family first Christian values. At the store level it translates more as 'make a buck'. Talk to the customers if you have time, but get all your other work done. Time off for family? Well, maybe.. IF there's someone that can cover your shift. Otherwise, sorry - you'll have to miss that once in a lifetime thing with your kid.

      What a Long Strange Trip it's Been

      Pros

      $14 an hour for full time Health Benefits Paid Vacation/Holidays/PPTO Sundays off Great hours (for retail) It's easy When something is broke, Hobby Lobby fixes it. Anytime I have had contact with the corporate office, they have gone above and beyond to be gracious and helpful. At different times, I could have written any one of the "bad" reviews. I needed a job, I learned to make it work. Hobby Lobby hasn't continued to grow (in a bad economy) because the company is mismanaged or horrible to employees. I drank the Kool-Aid. I do my job, I get paid, everyone leaves me alone.

      Cons

      The entire Hobby Lobby experience is determined by management. Bad manager=horrible experience. I barely survived the first 3 years, but I needed a job. Do I love my job? No, but I'm just not cut out for retail.
