Hobby Lobby Leadership Employee Reviews
What do you like best about the leadership team?
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.
They are understanding and very helpful
We all work together . Lots of teamwork
Review from Sales Dept
They are very understanding and caring.
They try to be positive and have the right mindset of the work environment being a good one. I think by the time it gets to the store level, the only thing that is relevant is meeting deadlines regardless of how the employees are treated.
They trust me to complete tasks by myself
Their availability and the fact that they are on the floor working alongside the leads.
Review from Customer Success Dept
Everything. Learn something new everyday
Most of the time our team has a good attitude and seem to appreciate those who work under them.
Review from Sales Dept
Being relatable to me and others
They now what they are doing
Well organized for the most part
I am stil very new so can't give a good evaluation. The closing manager that I have worked with is positive, gives clear directions, and shows appreciation
The leadership is great. However, our system is antiquated. Instead of automating prices we usually do a lot of guess work. I shopped (past tense) at hobby lobby so i know the departments. We manually enter in prices because we have no barcodes.
A few managers weren't the best but overall a good bunch
They keep it simple and to the point. Support you when needed
What does the leadership team need to get better at?
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
Morale support and better personality
Communicating with one another and having more feedback on what can be done rather than silent treatments .
Everything needs to be worked on
Care more about the employees needs especially when it comes to scheduling. If hours are going to be cut every spring, thry should give us an extra day off and make it the same day so that we can pick up a day if work elsewhere, not schedule us for 5 and 6 hour shifts.
Everything, none of the higher ups in the company are on the same page causing issues in every corporate department which trickles down to issues in every store in the entire company
Positive support and leadership skills
They need to have managers who are actually professional and care about their employees.
Internal promotion and support for employees
The General Manager needs to stop having a power trip, and to step down from his position. The Co-Managers need to stop blindly supporting his actions and tell him that he's not treating employees fairly at all. Multiple people have quit because of him.
Respecting the rights of individuals for the most basic needs.
Their actions need to reflect their words
The General Manager needs to learn how to motivate his staff. There is not a single person at my store who says they look forward to working with him. Nine times out of ten people are talking about how unsafe they feel in his presence.
Stop yelling and berating employees in public.
To improve their management skill
They should not be threatening our job just because they cannot schedule correctly
