Pros

There are SO many pros - my store manager is the best! He is so understanding, respectful, funny, and welcomed me with open arms! My fellow employees, although I haven’t met all of them yet (I literally just started last month), they are so helpful and easy to talk to. It is honestly so refreshing to get off work and not be aggravated, sweaty, smelling like pickles, onions, and grill smoke, ready to fight someone (just kidding - kind of 😉). And the discounts are amazing!

Cons

The only issue I have is the rate of pay. I can see someone making $11.25 if it’s their first job, but I’ve worked in Customer Service since I was 15 - that’s 20 years! People with a bit more of experience should get higher wages.

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.
