Only work for Hobby Lobby if you are a white male

Pros

Reasonable pay considering the work load, except in the fourth quarter from September to December during the Christmas season.

Cons

In-store management and district managers are always unhappy and operate using negative reinforcement no matter the outcomes. They allow gossip and strife to rule stores. At my location the store manager was having an affair with an employee, she got pregnant with his baby and lost her job. All the employees knew what was going on and Hobby Lobby turned a blind eye. HR is a joke. They actively work against their employees and engage in illegal activities for worker's rights including interfering with paid family and military leave. HR people are not properly trained and do not keep your identity a secret from management even though they say they claim to.

Pros

closed on sundays is all I can think of

Cons

long, long, long hours! all physical labor with maybe 10% time managing. Upper management has NO idea how to speak to people. tactics used are bulling, demeaning and down right harassing! NO support! all stores no matter volume expected to same resets and seasonal moves by same due date, so whether you have 20 employees are 70, all needs to be done at same time! its insane!

Overworked and under appreciated

Pros

Great hours (mostly during holiday) and pay, even for part time. There is always work to be done and the job is never boring. Added bonus is a great discount on everything in the store.

Cons

The managers expect you to drop everything whenever they need you. They do not hesitate to call you in on your day off and cut your hours when they see fit. Also, if you're great at your job, they'll expect you to do everyone else's too.
