    Applied during seasonal part time 2017 and to say first time working retail, it was crazy busy. At first it was difficult to memorize where everything is at in the store and with seasonal items getting changed but overtime you'll get it. The environment is amazing! I love to help customers with any projects they have, questions about or need help with. Creative juices gets going everytime I come into work. I love to paint so the employees discount is a bonus for me.

    I am currently a sales representative at a Michael retail store and within my 2+ years working in with the company, I would say that I had a great experience! My co-workers are caring and supportive of one another. We all work together so that we can get the job done quicker and effectively. My managers are very understanding and caring to their employers as well. They would give us very flexible hours, which is extremely important for me especially since I am also a college student. The only thing that concerns me (at least for my store) is that we're often understaffed, especially during the weekday evening shifts where the most amount of customers would arrive. It can sometimes get to the point that we would too busy helping out customers that we barely have time to do anything else.
    Other than that, I have had a wonderful time working for this company and if anyone is considering working for this company, I say go for it!
    It's a standard experience were a fun, cooperative team can make any day not boring! Sometimes work might seem draining on very long days, but with how busy the store is, the work at the register is most important. Smiling, speaking to the costumers in casual chat, and ensuring they know the policies of coupons and our sales will benefit not only them but the staff at the store in the future.
