1.8I have worked for Michaels just about 5 years now. At first I enjoyed working for the company and looked forward to coming into work, but now my attitude is complete opposite. My best advice for anyone trying to work for Michaels is...Being a good worker and working harder than everyone else gets you nowhere, so don't waste your time and energy. As of today I have received 4 raises since I started, yet I'm making minimum wage. When it comes to raises, you are suppose to get a review in June and the raise kicks in in July. With the company being aware of the recent minimum wage increases in California, they will wait till December to give the raises, and the following month you are back at minimum wage and your raise no longer exists. If you ask any manager, district manager, HR about receiving a raise, me and several other employees are told they can't give any raises at the moment.......but they are able to hire new employees and pay them more than the employees already working and asking for a raise. **COVID-19**. When COVID-19 Happened every store shut down. My store was the only store that shut down for 2 weeks and then re-opened starting the BOPIS(buy online pick up in store) and ship to home programs. All other stores remained closed for several months. So that year because of "COVID-19" no raises were given. When I brought this up to HR, I was told no raises were issued cause all the stores were closed down for a few months. That is when I told HR that my store did not close down and were opened the entire time. HR's response was.....We don't make exceptions for one store. When it comes to moving up in the company.....GOOD LUCK! I was trained to become the new replenishment manager when the current one left and I did not get that position because the store manager preferred females instead of males. The female who did get the position was never trained for the position....Favoritism?? Much more but out of space.....
1.9I think a good corporation would recognize that a happy employee base is important to the overall directive. Making money and cutting corners at your employees expense just doesn't make any sense. This company out right lies to their employees each and everyday stating they are trying to help you. No, you're not! What is the point of lying Most importantly. don't treat people like they are indispensable if they are not!
1.5Let me start off by saying, the modules they give you during onboarding are very dumb. They give you basic info, but it’s hard to retain in such a short time.. but the company expects you to have it memorized or something. The policies they have in place, are outrageous. Unless your state specifically says so, if you put your two weeks in, they don’t need to pay out your earned vacation time, or your sick time.
I’m finding out that it’s not just my location in NY that’s toxic, it’s the company all throughout. I think it’s almost a michaels company signature to have a lazy, miserable Store Manager.
Do as they say, not as they do!
The company only gives each store 4 dollars to give their employees raises. You get one raise a year, and they barely bump you up to minimum wage.
As a full time CEM who basically does it all, I made the same amount as seasonal cashiers that came in this year. When I mentioned my concerns to my store manager she saw no issue with it; and ignored it.
Any issues that go on in the store, the CEM usually takes care of it… the store manager told me that the ASM and SM are the back up back ups, meaning they shouldn’t be bothered at all throughout the day.
It’s frustrating because you have passionate workers that want to work, make money, and thrive but the company doesn’t care.. they don’t let you.
As a full time manager, you get one 45 minute lunch.. and you’re expected to be on your feet the rest of the time, no 15 minute breaks or anything.
They cut everyone’s holiday salary for employee appreciation. They give you a 40% off all regular price items for one week to show their appreciate to employees.
OSA? Nahh. If your sewers are over flowing and coming through the drains in the floor.. you’re not allowed to use the restroom, but you have to work all day and walk to the nearest store that has an available restroom. There’s so much more.. but I’m running out of room
