      It was bad

      Pros

      Flexible schedules and time off given if requested in advanced. The hours were good because you never worked Sundays and they closed at 8 pm. Family oriented employees.

      Cons

      HORRIBLE pay. No chances for raises or promotions. As a part timer you are forced to close everyday and if you requested to work otherwise it was an issue. Management pleased the customer with lack of respect and regards to the employees feelings. They don't believe in praising you if it's a job well done or you've put in overtime but if you messed up it was blown out of proportion.

      Pros

      Co-workers fun, great managers who do their best to accommodate you.

      Cons

      Lack of technology (no scanners, every item purchased must be hand typed). Long hours Saturdays - all day are a must!

      Company with great values

      Pros

      They seem to place a large emphasis on family and worship, therefore all stores are closed on Sundays. Hobby Lobby also closes at 8 pm and opens at 9 am. To have shorter hours and be closed on Sundays is almost unheard of in the large retail store world, yet they are still growing and making large profits.

      Cons

      I think Hobby Lobby could use more technology in the stores. Cashiers have to manually type in prices and sales on all products. At times the sales can be vague or confusing leading to cashier error or arguments with customers. Being able to scan items would be very helpful. It would also help reduce the sometimes long wait times at registers. Every return has to be approved by a manager, there have been times when managers are too busy to come to the registers which means the customer and the line behind them are waiting until the manager gets free and comes to the front. Most customers have told me this is their number one complaint.
