Pros

Dealing with the customers was usually pretty great. I loved most of my co-workers and got along great with all of them. I was even friends with most of my managers. The little things, day to day, were typically fun and made time pass quickly. I loved the opportunities I had to run craft demos and birthday parties.

Cons

Higher management has ludicrous expectations. There is not much recognition for doing good work. Asinine things like coupon policy and getting people's email addresses was prioritized far above good customer service. At its worst, Michaels is a case study in what makes retail jobs such awful experiences for most people.

Pros

I met some great people. discounts were good, but then again the products are so over priced that you could go somewhere else and still find it cheaper.

Cons

management treats you like crap. favorites are picked. management tells you to do something then writes you up for doing it. if you don't collect enough emails you get written up. empty promises and flat out lies.
