Pros

- felt like the amount of work I did was appreciated by my management team, my store had good routines and established roles for who was supposed to do what

Cons

Got brand new managers and discovered that upper management does not actively oversee new managers and the transition from an experienced manager to an inexperienced one was rough for the entire team at my store

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.
