Pros

Closed on Sundays and 15% discount

Cons

Hobby Lobby misrepresented itself from the day I applied. I was told that when the store set up was completed and the store opened officially, I would be making $10 an hour. The help wanted ad in the newspaper stated the same thing. When hired we were all classified as temporary employees and started out at $7.75 an hour. Well, the store has been opened a little over four months now and I am still classified as a temporary employee and still making $7.75 an hour. The ordering system is a joke because it is so antiquated. Everything is done on paper and can take more than a day to complete. The checkout system is just as bad because everything is done by hand-no scanner system. Was told by my manager we will never have scanners because then they could not pay employees $10 an hour. Where is my $10 an hour. I am fed up doing the work of three people and expected to have everything done yesterday. Too many resets in the store. Tired of dealing with leaks from the ceiling in our dept. and having to keep moving the green totes to catch the drips because customers keep moving them. Tired of being lied to by management. Tired of still being classified as a tempory employee and being treated like a peon. This is the first job I ever worked at that my hours depended on store sales. This company makes billions of dollars anually why won't they pay us more to keep us? Several people have quit since we opened and I don't blame them. I am trying to find another job that pays me what I am worth. I regret the day I ever applied at Hobby Lobby. The stress for me is overwhelming to the point that I broke a tooth in half from clenching my jaw. I do not know how much more I can endure from Hobby Lobby. I have e-mailed HR twice concerning things my manager has said or not done and they did not care enough to even e-mail back. Is this the company you want to work for? Think twice before filling out that application.

Pros

good pay. 6 paid holidays.

Cons

Distribution center only cares about numbers, not employees. Keep your production up to 90 or above or you're a goner. Fellow employees wil mow you down trying to pull their items. and if you're slow, look out, you have to get out ot THEIR way. And of course you can't make your production if you can't work and have to wait for others to fill their orders.
