Pros

The managers and the staff were amazing people to work with and for. The regular customers were so nice to see. That is it for pros.

Cons

I finally figured out what Michaels did with the money they saved with terminating most full-timers, managers and fes' for SOF. They installed cameras to watch their employees. Silly me thought they just wanted to be greedy and pocket the money they were paying out for the full-timers, managers and Fes and not having to pay the benefits but I was totally wrong. They instead paid to have cameras installed into Michaels stores and are probably paying people to watch or at least look through footage of the cameras to see which employees are stealing from the company - forget about those shoplifters it is the employees they are interested in. Too bad the employees can not install cameras into the corporate offices to watch the "men in suits" during paid office hours to see what they actually do with their time for sometimes with some of their hairbrained ideas as to what to do next, you gotta wonder?

Pros

Flexibility was great between school and just whenever I needed time off I generally got it, people whom I worked with were really nice,

Cons

Customers could be really mean and annoying but then again its customer service in a retail environment so what can you expect

Pros

Everyone is very friendly to work with, and we generally get along. Most of the time i get the days off that i need if i let them know in a timely fashion.

Cons

Not very many raises. Management will barely let you know about the changes going on in the store. The managers dont have any sense when they do hiring. All the associates in my store are willing to work more hrs, but the managers wont give them. And when they do hire, they hire people who have absolutely no idea what they are doing.
