      Pros

      Great if you are a customer they have lots of crafts and inquest home decor items

      Cons

      Do not leave your current job to work at a new hobby lobby, they hire everyone as a temp, work you to death for two weeks, they do not care if you are female or male you will unload trucks, lift heavy boxes and build fixtures. They will tell you your getting a full time position and ask you what dept you want as a lead , they will overwork you and make you think you have to to get the full time job. You have to install glass shelves and they will not give ou gloves I have several cuts on my hands, and once two weeks is up you find out you are not getting full time and you are let go, this company is a joke. Do not leave your job for this place.

      Pros

      Co workers are supportive and empathetic...because they are experiencing the same overwhelming confusion.

      Cons

      Lack of proper training...antiquated systems in place...Questioning the Christian values that the CEO of this company claims this company is based on. His workplace does not support this notion.

      Pros

      Work around school pretty well. Pay rate of $9.50 for part time and $14 for full time. Sundays off. 15% Discount.

      Cons

      Everything pretty much! -Favoritism -Not promoting within so you will never get full-time unless someone dies -Too much work and not enough time -Cliques get encouraged -Pay increased but no help in store -Hostile work environment -Cashiers not being trained properly and failing the cashier audit, instead of fixing issues letting them work the floor -Getting verbal complaints from customers nonstop on register -Morale has been an all time low after pay increase -Unstable hours -Refuse to pay overtime if you are a FTE -Forced to use PPTO when they tell you not to unless an emergency -Force people to work off the clock depending on your hours and are threatened to get written up if the project isn't done -9 to 10 hour shifts with just a paid 15 minute break if lucky and an unpaid 30 minute lunch Those are the top issues at the moment.
