Pros

30% discount, decent coworkers, flexible hours.

Cons

This company does not care for its staff. Every day with what is in the news and social media of how customers have been verbally and often times physically abusive to retail and service workers, this company does not protect its employees, while knowing the risky situations we are put in for simply following and enforcing the rules and company-mandated policies. They give in to customer demands without so much as a follow-up from – or helping hand for staff. The pay is overwhelmingly low compared to similar titles and responsibilities in other industries (all the while being customer facing), the lack of staff while also having higher expectations and pushing an increase of work in the wake of Party City and JoAnn Fabrics closures.

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.
