Pros

Great Bonus Program (for SM and above only.)

Cons

ZERO WORK/LIFE BALANCE!!! Bonus us great, but Michaels will almost kill you to earn it. Minimum 12 hour days are normal. During Peak season, don't plan to see your family family. You are made to feel guilty if you need to take a sick day! There is no support from upper management. Corporate visits are painful ans demeaning! 10 different conference calls every week, if you're off, you take it from home!

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.
