Pros

Lovely coworkers, the work is good if you like crafts and helping customers with theirs, shifts are 4 hours with lots of opportunity to pick up shifts/doubles

Cons

Upper management is approachable but were not kind or respectful in my experience. Multiple instances of multiple employees being harassed or bullied for their problems. Once knew someone who was told everything bad that happens to them is on them after an accident with their vehicle. The clock in mechanism would sometimes not register me clocking in so when I would try to fix my lost hours/pay they would constantly complain that its my fault and there's no possible way I didn't just forget. Eventually I gave up trying to do that and just let my pay be whatever it was. Had many panic attacks in the car before going into work because of how it made me feel. If mean individuals weren't in that day though the work was great and the customers were usually lovely. Were also caught many times goofing off in the office and watching tv and shows on their phone constantly through the day

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.
