Pros

Off Sunday. Have developed a few good friends with employees.Only work every other Saturday. Vacation pay. Cannot give any other reasons.

Cons

Hobby Lobby does not value its long term employees at all. You would think a raise sounds like a good thing... but it is not. NEW full-time hires have all been given $1.00 raises for the last three years in a row while emplyees who have been with HL for years are only getting minimum raises 25 to 50 cents. NEW employees are now within 25 cents of people who have been with HL for ten to fifteen years. New full timers make $13.00 per hour and long term emplyees are at $13.25 per hour and some of them are night managers who lock up the store every night and have great responsibilities. I am given what are called "personal days" every year to be used for personal days that I may need off with pay. I cannot get paid for what I consider to be an emergency. The MANAGER of your store makes the decision if you can use your day as a personal day off and get paid. Nobody else. If your manager is a hearltess/uncaring perosn like ours is... you will not be paid. HL considers itself to be a Christian company and many people there are good people. Ido not think the ownr (Mr Green) knows the amount of anger building up in his stores as he is sheltered from employees. He would not be happy...
