Pros

It was a good position while I was in college. Hours were flexible and expectations were not particularly high from either management or customers.

Cons

Advancement opportunities were non-existent. The owners of the company are evidently very religious. Also, the good 'ole boy network is alive and well at Hobby Lobby. Not advanced in the technology sector, and the company is probably losing a lot of money through poor inventory management and an outdated point of sale.

Good place to get experience

Pros

There is a lot of experience to be had working in the framing dept of Hobby Lobby. Of course, I am still new. So far it's good experience. Sundays off. Closes at 8p.m.

Cons

Can get hectic and a bit chaotic. Been warned that customers can get very upset -- as in any retail job for that matter. Lack of regular weekly scheduling makes it hard to plan around.

Not what I expected

Pros

Close to home, closed on Sundays

Cons

There are no "set shift" hours. It's very difficult to manage a family (set appts, etc) when schedule rotates wildly from week to week. If a day off is requested in advance, that day is given off ALONG WITH whatever days off management was planning to schedule, so work hours are lost.
