Pros

There are some genuinely wonderful, hard working people here.

Cons

Workloads are massive. If you don't work late, you get asked why things aren't done. If you do work late, you're seen as weak for needing to work late. It's so toxic. If you work efficiently and get things done, they will continually add to your workload until it is above your capacity to complete. Pay is well below market average

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.
