What do you like best about the leadership team?
Not much no communication or quality training
everyone is great excepted the main manager at 1304
Seems like they're very helpful
They listen and involve all of us in improving our store.
Their responsive rate is high.
What is the best part about your compensation package?
Everything and Everything that is completely
Not important to me at this time.
The salary was the best part.
Benefits start almost day 1
Hospital visits are $100 and cheaper than going to an office visit if you have a lot going on.
What are some of the best things about your team?
The only reason I've stayed (and this is echoed on most reviews I've read) are my co-workers. They try, they really try, but we're all burned out. But management doesn't care as they believe we're easily replaceable.
They are all very approachable and helpful
We stick together and get by against great reasons not to. We are all underpaid so we don't expect the world out of each other. Corporate is extremely out of touch with reality right now so we have to get by. Accommodating, kind, respectful for the most part. We help each other.
The different personalities and backgrounds
They're kind and fun to work with.
What is most positive about the culture and environment at your company?
Co-workers are the most positive thing. Most of the customers are OK. But we get our share of entitled Karens.
No Drama. We are all pretty much a team and easy to work with
Our local team. The culture is non-existent anymore but at least they pretend to care, the environment is what you make it. Mostly gray and hot.
Diversity is there and inclusion
Inclusion, our managers are the best.
What did you like most about the interview process?
The Store Manager at the time actually listened to me and cared
Social type meeting in a relaxed environment of the classroom. Back then working for Michaels was awesome. The sign on the door that said rated a great place to work was a standout memory that no longer exists
My store manager is excellent. Thats all
Manager was straight forward on their expectations
Review from Sales Dept
It was open and allowed for personal experience, rather than professional experience.
What makes you most happy at work?
My team and learning something new everyday.
My customers, receiving something they truly care about, back in a frame I assembled. They sometimes cry, I feel accomplished by doing meaningful things. That makes me happy.
Helping customers find what they need for their projects.
Completing tasks, seeing improvements in our work.
Working with or helping customers
What do you like best about your company?
