Pros

Easy enough job. Dress code was relaxed to allow jeans.

Cons

Tried to get you to work off the clock if you weren't done in time at closing. Cash register not counted between employees, so if it is off at the end of the night everyone who touched it is cited. 3 citations can lead to reprimands even if it was never your fault. They grill you about getting more customers per minute, ignoring that when it is slow some customers like to chat and have you help them out deciding between different items. Lots of older ladies had a much better customer experience if you took a bit of time with them, but you would get reprimanded for doing this because it made your customer per minute average lower.

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.
