Michaels reviews

Those who have worked there a while make an assumption that their nightly cleanup ritual is easy. IF you don't clean up during the day then it is a hard job to cleanup at night. One manager would just let some things go while anothers would try to make up for it the next night. The break schedules were disorganized and the mocked training wasnot helpful. Management just threw me out there. It makes you anxious when you look around and someone forgot to tell you how to use the intercom.

Low wage, low hours but unreasonable high expectations of work levels, resulting in even higher frustration and stress. I am retired, so I am luckily not dependent on the paycheck to pay bills every month. Upper management (at corporate level) doesn't have realistic views of what the average company is really all about, and the challenges that their employees face. They are trying so hard to streamline the company that they are loosing sight of the fact that their employees are their greatest asset. If you work part time, you have very limited hours available. Michaels has a policy of having a certain number of employees for a certain size of store. The employees that are very knowlegable about arts and crafts work the same amount of hours as an associate that knows little to nothing about arts and crafts. Does this make good business sense? No. No monitary compensation for changes in the dress code. I have worke here for 18 months and the dress code has changed twice now. I have had to buy new clothes to fit the dress code and there has never been any compensation from the company.. It is also scarry all the things made in China that are recalled.
