Hobby Lobby Employee Reviews

The store was very Ord and our manager ran a tight ship. Customers were generally very pleasant and I believe it's due to our manager who was in control of the emoloyees to offer excellent service

The store location I work at the staff and managers are amazing. It is a high traffic store and around seasonal time it can be stress full. I would say high traffic stores should be able to hire double the man power. Closing can be a lot if the store is not equipped with enough man power.

Amazing work home balance great pay

Hobby Lobby is a great place to work. Traditional family values are important to each employe in the management sector.

Over worked under paide need more people

It could use a lot of improvenent, not nearly enough training.

He's supportive. Micromanagement from above is killing morale.

They appear friendly but constant correction just escalated the stress and more mistakes are made over your shoulder at all times

Some are patient and try, others constantly correct you. When you are just put on the spot without proper training.

They are amimicable and hands on when comes to resets and projects.

Empathy for the associates directly under them. A better way to earn bonuses as upper level management, instead hugely connected to payroll (less spent on payroll = bigger bonuses for the store manager) the incentive is to keep payroll to the bare minimum to get the highest payout.

Communication, organization, leadership skills, little bit of everything.

Treat people equal and communicate better

Communication, more involvement with employees during the day. It's all about pushing employees to clean up the store for district manager inspections. There is no value given back to employee

Stop lying! We do not get out of work at 9pm. More like 11:pm and not over time

Nice join package and good bonus

Above average pay scale for retail work.

It covers everything I need.

Part time I don't get any compensation

As part-time worker, I do not see much of a benefit package

Eye insurance would be nice

I was part time so I had no benefits.

Because my first my manager told me not to even worry about the work man comps insurance because it ain't worth anything being part time

Review from Sales Dept

My manager used me not beinh full time as leverage. Underworks the full time people and overworks the part time people because we are paid less. Then tries to threaten not getting me to full time when he's in a bad mood that day.

Not have my hours cut more than a newer person, or get a call while on my way there telling me not to come for that day. Its unethical and disrespectful.

We've all worked together for years with this company and know how they opperate and know how to help each other when it really matters

Working and learning with them more everyday

We help each other out especially during closing. My coworkers are all wonderful to be around. This is one reason I continue to come back for the holidays.

They are all knowledgable And very hard working

Willing to learn, have great attitudes, and they care.

There is no team work at our store.

Stop starting drama and being culty

They need to stop sexually harassing other employees

Communication and fair treatement. Some employees get journaled or even written up for issues such as freight speed or relay speed and then others are not. My store manager can simply target people she dislikes with no recourse for the unfair treatment

Do their work instead of standing around and talking

Only conversation with other temporary seasonal employees

Its the people not the company. Because the company is really mean and strict, but my co workers make it fun

Being trusted to do my work w/o anyone checking up on me. I know what I'm doing and I'm good at it

The interaction with store employees.

A very comfortable, team based environment.

Better leadership training for TL. Establish transparent, easily accessible channels for employees to share their thoughts, concerns, and ideas without fear of reprisal. Default to transparency in sharing company goals, challenges, and progress.

New management or better priorities

Treating employees as valued workers

better management, better care of employees needs, better pay for part time. organization in ever department that is actually effective and works... All thay have in place now is just " busy work" it is not effective

Treat loyal employees better and pay them better

At first how want to hire me back on for being a amazing worker

It was a quick interview process

My manager had no problem accomodating my disability needs.

The interview was direct and straight to the point.

They are very thorough throughout the process.

Allowing more online access for applications

How about asking any goals, I interests. If there is any concerns the employee has and if so contact HR for help

Less disrespect would be nice

To have educate managers who do not get engage with the cooworkes and respect to each one.

The interview was easy the manger was nice , till it came when started to work then it falls apart you but up with alot of crap, but not their favorites there treated with the red carpet

Helping someone think outside the box to make their idea come to fruition

Working with people that love showing us how do everything right at are job

When we are working as a team and not against each other and the clock

Having a plan of action and completing the task

Being able to interact with some of the customers but overall the employees

Hobby Lobby is 40 years behind in terms of technology. They don’t utilize barcodes or walkie-talkies. This makes the retail experience archaic. The company presents itself as having strong Christian values, but the experience I’ve had has been far from

Our management staff needs to be retrained. Treat us like we have no value.

Management hasnt any people skills. They bark at the employees because they cannot deal with their own stress. They dont deal with problems they themselves created regarding the animosity felt.

First off, to much stock in boxes on the store floors, makes it difficult to move through the store and gives a messy appearance

First...the registers must be changed to scan items instead of putting everything in by hand and memory. Everything would move smoother and quicker. The biggest complaints are about how slowly the lines move. Also better organization on product in the warehouse and on the floor. Too much.

Review from Sales Dept

I used to like to shop there.

Work environment and civil responsibility.

Pay raises for individuals versus "company" wide raises. Company has no format in place for employee reviews, input, feedback; there is no pay raise implementation in tact other than for full time employees or "management" positions, sub par employees should not get paid the same as exceptional ones
