How employees describe working at The Michaels Companies
Management has gone downhill in the last year. We are no longer an arts and crafts company, but a party and decor company. More and more services and responsibilities with steadily reduced payroll hours. Two staff in the store is common.
They are so desperate for employees, because the reputation and the low pay, you are guaranteed a job if you are breathing because its next to inpossible to get a job candidate in the first place, and the few that do inteeview usually quit within a week, and often within hours of the first day.
It was amazing until my hours started to get reduced
Great company to work for, great people to work with. Keep in mind a bad manager can make or break your personal experience.
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.
