Pros

Offers a variety of different types of things to do as far as hobbies goes and always closed on Sunday.

Cons

They work you like a slave the managers are not very professional, they let certain employees do whatever they want to do. They don't treat everybody the same.

Cashier / some floor stocking

Pros

Flexible schedule. Decent pay. Some managers promoted cross-training. Lots of locations. Keeping job is easy - no one seemed to ever get fired, even if they were slackers.

Cons

Little room for advancement. I wanted floor positions constantly, but was told I was too good of a cashier to move to the floor. That's the way to cultivate employees and promote growth...not. Management is a revolving door, but oddly, the managers that were good always seemed to leave while the terrible ones stayed. Starting pay is decent, but merit increases afterward? That's just an afterthought. They project a Christian image, and say they are a Christian company, but I guess that stays with the founder because it's not a value shared to employees. Employees were a mix of decent people who were established and adult, while many of the others were young, inexperienced Walmart rejects. Lax drug policy meant that many of these people did recreational drugs because there was no threat of getting tested. Store also seemed to rehire the exact same people time and again. If you like to hang out with a younger, party-type crowd with few goals and aspirations, while working for a company that offers little in the way of personal upward mobility, then Hobby Lobby might be good for you.
