      Pros

      IF given FT,you will receive min 32hrs and better than min wage(currently $11.) PT work pays $8 &some get less than 15 hrs per WK. The work itself is SIMPLE,no challenges. stores have a loyal following,much Christian decor displayed.

      Cons

      mgmt not interested in labor: lip service but not practiced. among these "Christians" feels like a viper pit: morale low,back-stabbing,gossip,goldbricks . driving out real workers by cutting hours and keeping those who tow the line(shut up). promised when engaged in slave labor readying store(12-16hrs day x 20 straight days) that you'd get FT spot- then hired new PT for holidays instead of giving those w/"sweat-equity" the hrs. most(even FT) still looking elsewhere.this store does not post schedules in advance=fri find out for week starting mon !? projects need completion?get them to stay late/come early - a little planning,scheduling would go long way. mistakes made receive write ups- but training( yes, WE learned from them) would prevent in first place.

      Pros

      Starts all full time employees at $10.00 per hour. Medical & dental insurance. One week paid vacation after one year, two weeks after two years.

      Cons

      $10.00 an hour for full time employees (only) made rave media reviews but also imposed more restrictions and work requirements on full time employees, while cutting back on part time employment. According to management, there is zero restrictions with regards to how management can schedule employees regardless of how it may damage morale or an employee's ability to perform their job. Hobby Lobby is also being sued by the EEOC for violating a disabled employee's right to work. This doesn't suprise me. Christian owned Hobby Lobby, which gave ORU an 8-million dollar gift, is indifferent to employees' school, medical and family needs. Speaking of the insensitivity of management: in a recent meeting with our store manager we were told that "this is one of the easiest jobs you'll ever have." Anyone working in retail knows that retail work is not easy work and Hobby Lobby is no exception. Except for Sundays off, we put in the same number of hours, put as many miles on our feet, as many hours standing in one place at a register, we deal with the sames rude and nasty customers, and endure the same physical, emotional and cognitive exertion and stress as all other retail employees.

      Pros

      Salary is actually very good as you end up being a overpaid stockman

      Cons

      Training, Obsessive Micro Managing by senior field management, Often Confusing and Contradicting direction by field management. Philosophy of company appears to be--If you are not at work, you need to repent! Actually had RVP call me at home on sick day and berate me for not being at work. Take some medicine and get in here.
