Michaels Careers and Employment

The management at my location often disagreed and gave contradicting task orders and often got frustrated if you took too long on tasks for them. It was standing all day with the absolute minimum breaks.

Great place for cashiers

Other employees that aren’t cashiers don’t get treated the same by management or customers. Cashiers get most of the attention and when you’re stocking shelves, it seems like no one believes you when you tell them where a product is or if we don’t have it.

Overworked and don't care much of the employees

*During the beginning of the pandemic they weren't forcing restrictions and only until the state knew about it they slowly mandated customers to wear their mask.*they have minimum benefits*employee of the month or recognition isn't worth the work*they hire a lot of inexperienced people and don't want to give raise to those who been longer with the company.

Productive workplace

I loved it. No complaints. It was an overall delightful place to work. I had left there in 2011 and even came back to work there. Coworkers were fun to work with.

Interview Questions

Easy going interview. I was asked to tell a bit about myself, what I knew about Michaels as a company (what they sell/what they're known for), and what my availability was like.

Why Michaels? Tell us about a time you worked as a team? What is your time availability? What do you think about costumer service? What are you not capable to do while you are working? Tell us about a time you felt proud of you ? Tell us about a time you was creative resolving a problem? Tell us about a time you received bad feedback? And I think that was all. I loved my interview. I do not know if they will hired me but I really enjoyed my interview. I hope I can work at Michaels soon.

I was just asked what my previous employers were like and if I liked crafting then my interview was pretty much over
