Pros

Great people, great products, great brands

Cons

Pay is wayyy below average in the market, slow to re-staff after people leave, leaving others picking up slack for months or even years on end, being sent back to the office while the Dallas county health department asks to practice extreme caution and other states declare a public state emergency putting all of our lives at risk. Systems are outdated, cause problems and extra work for everyone.

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.
