Pros

The things that I learned at this job has taught me so much in my current career. The Hobby Lobby store in Joplin, MO is just like a family. I go there to this day to visit the employees. I even go to some of the retired ones homes to visit them. Great people to work with.

Cons

Unfortunately it would be middle managment not backing up their employees when they try to enforce store policies. Time and time again I would explain certain framing fees to customers only to have the fees taken away by managers because the customer complained.

Pros

Sundays off. The hours in Hobby Lobby are better than in other retailers if you are hourly. Good benefits. This is the place to work if you are an hourly employee. Hourly pay for non-management is way above average. Just stay hourly!!!!!!

Cons

If you are salary, forget about family life. yes you get sundays off, but you will end up working 55-65 hours in the other 5 days. During holiday season you are required to work 6 days increasing the working hours. So yes, you get Sundays off, but by the time they come you are so tired that you do not want to do anything else but rest. There are good District Managers in the company, the one for Florida is NOT a forward thinker. Just likes "yes sir" employees. Could not offer suggestions to him.
