Pros

Michaels is wonderful place for the crafty. Of which I am. Staff discount can be pretty good. Lots of flexibility in roles and in hours to work.

Cons

The big managers do not care about you unless you're lucky enough to be in a well managed store. Most of the time you'll be short staff because no one bothers to show up reliably for minimum wage. And there is absolutely no where to grow into the job. They have removed as many full time positions as they can.

Pros

Relatively easy job, lots to keep you busy and moving if you hate a stationary job. Easy to keep moving up from this role. The right team will make this your favourite role! Perfect job if you enjoy being the solution for everyday problems (just get your pay's worth).

Cons

Far too many hats, as Michaels tends to understaff. Can be a real slog with lack of support for training and followup coachings for cashiers. Hard to recommend this job long-term due to typically low entry pay, and pay gaps in similar management roles caused by company decisions over the last half decade or so.
