Pay for average workers is so far below livable it's disgusting. They have extremely high expectations from people who don't even make enough to pay rent. Hours are erratic offering no sense of stability. Stores offer very limited full-time positions and thus no benefits for 90% of store staff.
What makes you most happy at work?
Seeing the beautiful things my customers create and share with me.
What did you like most about the interview process?
I appreciated that the hiring manager acknowledged my crafting experience. The process was quick and efficient and I was offered the job almost immediately.
What do you like best about the leadership team?
Direct management does the best with what they are given. All of my store managers have been fantastic. I have noticed an attempt by corporate leadership to improve the work environment but so far its all superficial.
What are some of the best things about your team?
I love the people I work with. We enjoying working to assist customers with their projects and love being a point of expertise in the crafting community. My team and direct management is knowledgeable and always willing to help.
What is most positive about the culture and environment at your company?
I enjoy the creative environment and the people we work and interact with. It would be more enjoyable if we weren't constantly training new employees because so many leave after realizing the labor to incentive ratio is so out of whack.
Why do you feel undervalued and what would make you feel better about your compensation?
The compensation is not adequate for the work expected or performed. Part-time work can be up to 40 hours with no benefits. Breaks are very rare due to understaffing and constant reduction of man-hours. A liveable wage ($15+) for ALL employees would be a start. Sick Leave, PTO. Adequate Staffing.
