Pros

If you are happy to be one of the lucky few to be in the inner circle which requires you to turn your head and ignore the morally ethically wrong being done by the others, then you deserve to work here.

Cons

Stress from the mental abuse of not being able to do the right thing, and knowing if you question someone who is doing wrong, you will be fired.

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.
