Pros

I love the customer interaction, lots of fun products, all employees are nice so far- my first week on the job. Love it :-) Super clean store.

Cons

Might not get two days off in a row... part time, seasonal, other employees have been waiting, waiting , waiting to be full time. They keep hiring more and more. Dept heads complain that they keep getting pulled to cashier when they are trying to run their depts, they get in trouble if the floors are not swept and they weren't there to enforce it. No classes can be advertised in store except cake decorating.

Pros

Loved working around the products, selling to customers, hearing about their projects.

Cons

We worked so hard to set up the new store the grand opening. Gave up other opportunities. We worked hard to make presentable for the owner visit, then no hours. First it was down to 24 hours in 4 hours shifts. Worked every Saturday for 8 weeks, then 12 hours, then 8 hours. Imagine going to check your hours and finding 0 hours.

Pros

Awesome products, and plenty of customers with money to spend on hobbies crafts and other such things. Christian owned, beautiful stores with top of the line retail equipment that always works!

Cons

Hours are non existent, so goes the pay. CEO David Green is getting pinched with political issues and fines therefore employees are feeling it right along with him, which makes for a lot of job security questions. No chance of advancement in a business going under. Middle management is abandoning ship with no replacements. So hourly employees are expected to do double the work load with a third of the hours.
