Want To Earn $19.25 An Hour Working Retail? Work Here
There seem to be two significant complaints about jobs. No one wants to work anymore, and the pay offered for many jobs doesn't provide enough money to live on. After that, the argument on both sides tends to devolve into everything from adults doing jobs supposedly for teens to companies not being able to survive if they actually pay their employees what they are worth. Yet, every once in a while, a company tends to figure it out. One major retailer with stores in Missouri seems to have figured it out and is providing a sweet employment package to its workers.
On October 1, Hobby Lobby raised its minimum full-time hourly wage to $19.25 an hour. This is the company's 13th minimum wage boost in the last fifteen years, which is a pretty good track record for paying employees.
Hobby Lobby founder and CEO David Green says in a news release, "A pillar of our success is taking care of employees." He mentioned that Hobby Lobby is closed on Sunday and closes at 8:00 PM the rest of the week so employees can balance work and their personal lives and have time for rest, family, and worship.
Hobby Lobby might not be the perfect employer. CEO David Green and his family's evangelical Christian beliefs have sometimes caused the company to be seen in a poor light and caused some controversies, so some folks may find working for this employer difficult or not in alignment with their beliefs. So it might not be a great job for everyone.
Yet, if you have a passion for arts and crafts, don't want to work too late, would like Sundays off, and want to work for a company that tries to pay their employees a good wage with benefits, you might want to look into Hobby Lobby.
