Pros

Your employee discount and the discount the store already have. My co-workers were really nice. You get to learn things by hand and not by technology.

Cons

No Scanners I wish the owner took the time and listen to what employees have to say and make it easier for us all. I didn't feel safe in my job. Customers upset when they found out that their product is not on sale. Not organized. Lack of communication with the management. I wish the receipts were more detailed, so it will be easier for the people who work in Returns, can easily read them and know the exact product the customer brought. It's says it's a Christian store but they give you hell.

Pros

The only pros I can think of are not having to work Sundays or too late at night. We always closed at 8pm and I usually got off around 8:30-9:00.

Cons

In my interview the general manager told me that he wanted me to come in to kind of be in charge of the other cashiers, which he never put into play. The assistant manager was nothing but negative toward every employee. I had to memorize what items were on sale and manually enter each item into the register. No scanning! This made for super long wait times to check out for the customers and extremely inaccurate reciepts when the customer tried to return an item. Also, this was one of the lowest paying jobs I've had since I was in highschool and I was 20 when I worked there. You couldn't pay me enough to go back.

Pros

Hobby Lobby is a great family-oriented place to work. After working there for two years I had decided to move to Orlando, FL but I really did not want to leave. They were really flexible with their employees and treated us very respectfully and even rewarded us for jobs well done. We had went through a couple new general managers but the store transitioned well through each one. Our store had great teamwork and was one of the best in the district. Not to mention you always had Sundays off. :)

Cons

The only thing I really did not like while working there was the monthly overstock counts. I worked in the Jewelry Department and so it could be quite tiresome. Those had only started shortly before I left.
