Pros

you can block out your schedule. close to home. the boxes are light. they don't expect much from you. the stores are laid out well.

Cons

the job is mind numbingly boring. the whole store is laid out my planogram and you just have to fit the square boxes with the square hole.

Pros

I like the people I work with & the customers, & of course the items we sell. Being a craft store, the merchandise is seasonal, so things change frequently & which keeps things fresh, in my mind anyway.

Cons

Minimum wage is hard these days & when the hours are minimal, it's not great on payday. Also, when I started as a framer, I did not have experience in the field & everything was new. I had a few weeks with the framing manager & then I started working alone. On the job training is okay in some fields but there are little tips that would make the learning process much easier rather than learning from mistake made. The computer program was new to me which made serving customers stressful, difficult & made me look like an incompetent person. Really management, it would be so much easier to train one in the beginning!

Cons

you cannot depend on this job to pay your bill because your hour can range fron 8 to 35 hours. There is not manpower to complete the pog change and other task. Our manager treats employee fairly and respectfully. He even goes an extra mile to accomonade the employee's need.
