Working at Michaels Arts & Crafts in Linden, NJ: 1 Employee Job Reviews by Real Employee working in Linden, NJ Area

"So, in MY experience at the store as a remodel associate to the framer to the manager, hands down one of THE worst companies I have ever had the displeasure of working for. The company refused to give us new fixtures despite the safety hazards (a customer was then injured because corporate didn't care). There was hardly any training, and the people training you, barely had training. We were instructed to lie about orders and mark it as though we had the item, and then go back in the system to say the customer canceled, just to avoid low numbers, which caused ALOT of angry customers. The framing department is an absolute joke where orders are consistently neglected and left in a cubby for weeks, again, causing a stir in customers. A manager was fired because some new cashier didn't know where to put refund cards, and the manager accidentally loaded her return on a previously used card because of a cashier mistake, so the company claimed it was theft and demanded she repays the company $30 even though none of those things was her fault and she spent almost every paycheck at the store to keep our sales up. I quit because the District Manager told me to "stay in my lane" because I was forced to juggle everything in the store with 0 training, and when I brought it up, training was set for me in another state that I couldn't get to and no one had told me about it, so THAT manager got nasty with me for not contacting them about it... but again, no one had told me it had been set up."
