Exempt Salaried Managers are taken advantage of because they are exempt from FLSA and Overtime Laws
Pros
Hobby Lobby is closed on Sundays.
Cons
Being an Exempt Salaried Manager for Hobby Lobby. They do not tell you when they make you a job offer that you will be required to help at new store openings and help other stores prepare for a CEO visit from David Green. 1. New Store Opening: Leave my family for 21 days and go to another part of the country. Worked from 7am to 11pm every day for 21 days straight. No time off to do laundry, buy groceries (you are forced to eat out every day), work out to be healthy or anything for that matter. 2. CEO Visit: Leave my family for 10 more days and go to another part of the country. Worked again from 7am to 11pm every day for 10 days straight. Again....no time off to do anything. From what other employees have told me, the CEO is only in the store for about 20 minutes. **I have worked in retail for 20+ years and have never worked so hard in my life in a management role. I don't mind working hard and rolling up my sleeves to dig in but this was absolutely redicilous and ludicrous. Hobby Lobby does not give you a bonus or any monetary reward for doing this. They give you $25 per day for food and believe me, you use it everyday to eat and drink. You work on average of 105 hours per week so I think about what this does to my salary on an hourly bases (If I wanted to earn $10 an hour I would work somewhere with no responsibility or stress).
