Pros

Hobby Lobby employees (meaning: co-workers), are the best people to work with.

Cons

The atmosphere at Hobby Lobby is one of intimidation and distrust. Mgmt. blames employees for their mistakes. No employee advocates.

Pros

Fairly good pay Near my home Good friends in my co workers

Cons

Very poor management Customers are always considered right, even when they're not Taking back refunds when they are very old lack of common sense about how much one person can actually do lack of scanner The fact that we do our orders by hand severely understaffed Lack of or almost no praise from management we are constantly blamed for things that our out of our control favoritism towards certain employees Not much training involved, employees are just kind of expected to automatically know things

Pros

Pay was in line with other management jobs as were benefits. Hard work is rewarded with bonuses as is appropriate.

Cons

Not enough management staff to cover any illnesses let alone vacation time. Not allowed to compensate hourly store employees as needed for performance if an employee was doing a great job. No barcode scan system in place for merchandise checkout.
