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.
