HobbyCraft Careers and Employment

Paid when they feel like deciding on cut off point. Pay never the same each month even if you work the same amount if hours. Employees have to have the company app on their own mobile to access calendar for holidays. Then managers will say, that's a busy time so no holiday.

I got told smart trousers but when you see the mangers wearing jeans or leggings you tend to think why bother. Oh, warehouse never cleaned or swept. Store hoovered once a week. Everything is dirty. You will need to wash your clothes after every shift and your hands will be always black with dirt. So don't weat your good smart clothes

It gets boring over time, there no chance to progress. Sometimes you have to deal with difficult, unreasonable customers. Sometimes you get personally blamed for company’s faults.

Generally good relationships with other staff and management - variety of jobs to do throughout a shift -unrealistic pressures from HO relating to loyalty cards and direct responses from customers - many of which are out of our control but staff still held responsible.

There is sometimes a lack of communication at Hobbycraft between the managers but on a whole they are quite organised.
