RUN AWAY!!!!!!!

Pros

Decent hourly pay, creative inspiration from seeing products on a daily basis. Closes at 8 pm. Discount on top of sales.

Cons

Horrendous work load, extremely stressful environment, no flexibility with hours, purposely understaffed, archaic pos system, have to listen to mind-numbing Christian music all day, angry customers. Exhausting work leaves no time or energy for a life outside of the job.

Pros

There is always something changing and you always have the chance to learn something new.

Cons

No raises due to loyalty in the company, at least recently. There is no pay difference for people who are in charge of departments, are customer service managers, or who have been there for a few years. That has fallen behind greatly.

Pros

Pays above average for retail, have Sundays off, oh that's it.

Cons

Hobby lobby will come to town they will advertise paying $14/hr , they will hire 150 people part-time for $9.50 so not one will be full time. They will work you to death for 2 weeks then will let go 90% from over staffing they will take 6 full-time. You will work Sundays and evenings durning this time and will have to provide your own work gloves and knee pads, and uniforms which are tan slacks and navy blue tops. They are opening so many new stores this year there management are all new too so they have no clue what's going on.
