Michaels Employer Reviews

I loved all of my coworkers and my managers were nothing short of amazing. However, we were the smallest store in the SE and also the busiest. This meant we moved twice as much merchandise in half as much room. This daily mind puzzle on where to set all of the inventory made this a frustrating job and I felt we were worked much harder than we were getting – more... paid for. The success of my managers cannot be understated. – less

Interesting place to work, some managers were not qualified as management.

A typical day starts with replenishment team,
merchandising standards, downstocking as needed,
learned to work as a fast team within reason,
hardest part was unloading and staging product
with departments-
the best was becoming part of the Michaels
"family", we all were mostly veterans (5 plus
years with company)

I usually work only a couple nights a week and my store and management are very accommodating. My co-workers are always friendly and helpful. I love what I do at my job, but scheduling gets tough sometimes.

I didn't like management because they were really unfair to some of the associates.

I was a young adult working there when my son was born but it did not pay the bills so I went back to school and bettered my education.

You come in to work, ready to create custom framed orders for the customer. I learned that each person has a different method of working with the customer to get them to create a framing masterpiece. My frame shop manager is always available to help with questions that we may have about taking an order. As well as the co-workers, we try to help each – more... other out with the sale or to better help the customer. The hardest part of my job is cutting the glass correctly. The most enjoyable part of my job is having the customer leave knowing there art will be framed the way they had envisioned. – less

I learned how to custom frame artwork. High customer service. I love current frame manager however heavy turnover of upper management and framers made job harder than necessary.

Its fun to work in michaels. I like it because when i work no one bothers me.

A typical day would be waking up around 2-3 a.m. and unloading the truck. I learned how to work quickly. The hardest part of the job is waking up so early but I manage to go to bed earlier then normal.

Overall good. Fast past and great customers.Cashiering was the most enjoyable because I got to interact with the customers.

Michaels is a great place to work. In a typical day I get to communicate and help out numerous store managers, district managers, HR field managers, and associates at the corporate office. I also get to try and come up with new and creative ways to use existing systems to make the store associates jobs easier. My management and co-workers are great.

As part of the replenishment crew our tasks are pretty easy unless heavy lifting is required, but our manager knows each workers strengths and weaknesses and assigns us an appropriate task for our skills. Coworkers are fun and keep the workplace morale up when doing repetitive tasks. Most of the managers are good at keeping track of our schedules and – more... fixing anything that needs to be fixed, as well as calling when there are any changes. As a student it is also nice that our work schedule can be worked around classes. – less
