Hobby Lobby reviews

Schedules are not posted until the Thursday prior to the coming week, making it difficult to plan anything personal. Your weekly and daily schedule is constantly changing, even your bathroom and lunch breaks. Is not unusual to be scheduled until 11 pm one day and then have to come in the next day at 7 am. Inventory tracking and ordering is all done manually, meaning large lists and binders of inventory numbers and descriptions that you are constantly having to refer to. They boast about higher than average pay, but that's only for full-time associates. Most workers are part-time and are paid min wage - $8.50/hr.

the communication is TERRIBLE! Managers could care less about employees. The cash register is a NIGHTMARE! Every number must be punched in manually and the receipts are incredibly general making refunds hellish for cashiers! Rules and policies constantly change by the day and you are EXPECTED to know this even though no one has notified you about them. The people are TERRIBLE to work with both employees and customers. Not recommended for college students or anyone under the age of 30! Most employees are elder, grumpier women who instigate and gossip between each other. The head departments get spoiled at times. there are never enough hours to go around unless it is during christmas. Christmas is terrible, sometimes we didn't even get out until 1:30am (and some of us had to be at work at 9am the next day!). the Managers are always trying to find things wrong with everything and always trying to correct things that are JUST FINE THE WAY THEY ARE!! there is absolutly no room for advancement ESPECIALLY if you are a college student! as a matter of fact you cannot move up at all for this reason! people who had came around during the pay raises and only had 2weeks there, got a raise with people who had been working there for 2years! Managers try to get free labor from part-timers. Sometimes they have you ordering for a department head, or helping them do markdowns but NEVER give you a raise.Nobody was happy with job where i worked!
