Pros

Benefits? (but only if you are full time)

Cons

favortism run rampant here. They pay you well, but then they continually berate you. there is never enough time in the day to do everything, especially when they pull you out of your department to work in another department every time. Then they wonder why you haven't gotten anything done in your own department! The new manager is a control freak and LOVES gossip, while continuing to say that she doesn't want anyone to gossip!

Pros

The management staff communicates well. They work hard with employees and are clear and direct in expectations. Management remains positive with employee strengths and weakness.

Cons

There is no downside for a retail job. Hobby Lobby has a fair request for employees. You will definitely have to like retail to remain.

Pros

Great Employees who are dedicated to what they do and long term employees Good Pay

Cons

Not really a Christian environment Never enough hours to do all the projects, relays, entire aisle moves, frieght, seasonal sets, etc. Payroll for store structured on a dollar ammount, not on hours budget like other retaillers meaning that many full timers only get 30 hours because they make a high hourly rate. part timers get 6, 10, maybe 12 hours. The rest of the burden falls on the store manager and co manager to complete whatever tasks are left over because they are the only salaried managers. Stores are closed on sunday, but sometimes you still have to work In one year, I got most Sundays, Thanksgiving, and Christmas off, however I only got one..yes one regular scheduled day off. Otherwise I worked 6 day weeks. Pretty much from Mid October through end of year, Store Mgr and Co Mgr pretty much work open to close. From Thanksgiving to Christmas, You go in at 7am and leave around 11pm EVERY DAY. Some nights, myself and Store mgr stayed later. I had to work one sunday during Christmas season with a 102 degree fever and was told I could leave early. I left at 5pm with everyone else. I was pretty much worthless that day.
