Pros

Flexible hybrid schedule in corporate office

Cons

Multiple layoffs happening each month, decisions on impacted are made haphazardly, pay VERY low and not looked at on a regular basis, no bonuses have been given in a few years, very high turn on leaders and senior leadership, favoritism and micromanaging is ramped, very negative environment to work in. Work life balance is not happening. Getting emails/texts in the late evening and weekends is unacceptable!

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.
