Michaels reviews

the hours suck, the pay isn't worth the drive for your shift. Most of the customers ask you things they already know.. so look out, they snap if you are wrong...the company sets standards but expects you to go way above them, with little time, and also little training. "even when they have given you time" the raises are like returning pop cans to the store.. about one a year...

As a first job, I was thrilled to begin as a floor associate at $6.50 per hour in 2005. After being with the company for 5 years, the last two as a certified custom framer, I was making $8.50. As a student that's well and good, but several employees with families were making little more. Management usually hid in the office, and sale leads didn't have defined roles. Framers are told that payroll hours come from sales and production, yet we receive no additional hours from exceding goals. Far too few associates on staff, and very little overlap in framing. If you take orders all day by yourself, no production gets done, which leads to unhappy customers and botched rush jobs.
