Good place to get experience

Pros

There is a lot of experience to be had working in the framing dept of Hobby Lobby. Of course, I am still new. So far it's good experience. Sundays off. Closes at 8p.m.

Cons

Can get hectic and a bit chaotic. Been warned that customers can get very upset -- as in any retail job for that matter. Lack of regular weekly scheduling makes it hard to plan around.

Not what I expected

Pros

Close to home, closed on Sundays

Cons

There are no "set shift" hours. It's very difficult to manage a family (set appts, etc) when schedule rotates wildly from week to week. If a day off is requested in advance, that day is given off ALONG WITH whatever days off management was planning to schedule, so work hours are lost.

Pros

Good morals. Christian based ethical company. Store hours good compared to other retailers. Monday - Saturday 9-8, and closed Sundays. Work week typically 50 t0 60 hours, good for family time. Upper management truly seems to care in your development. Great place to work.

Cons

Be Careful when unloading trucks! You get 1 to 2 per week, full from front to back, and often looking like loaded by catapult. Very low tech merchandising and ordering processes. Many things you would like to implement in your store that are out of the norm must be approved in advance by upper management.
