Work-life balance
There is never a set schedule. She makes the schedule sometimes just days before the shifts so if you have plans you suddenly have a day or two to cancel or ask for a shift change.

Pay & benefits
Minimum wage no matter what. No raises. No advancement. No benefits of any kind no sick days no holiday pay no overtime no insurance no nothing.

Job security and advancement
No training no advancement no learning opportunities nothing.

Management
Worst manager I ever had. She didn't follow state covid19 guidelines and when I confronted her about that she fired me on the spot. If you have a concern about ANYTHING keep it to yourself and just find a new job. She won't care what you have to say and she'll fire you. I have never met a small business owner who spends so little time in their store. She doesn't care about the employees or their well-being and she does not know how to run a business.

Culture
It's very dirty and gross, sorting customers old lego product. We often find gross things like bandaids and teeth, various garbage and even dangerous items like knives. The staff are friendly but the manager is the worst person you'll ever meet.

Overall
It's not even a real store. 1 woman loves Lego so she opened a shop to do that. You are not a valued employee. She likes Lego so she hired people to help her sort and sell her collection. You are not treated like staff or employees. She does not have one shred of professionalism and she fires anyone who questions her methods. Steer clear and do not even shop there. Many customers complain about exorbitant pricing and find the same items elsewhere for less. Worst place I have ever worked.

I applied to work as a part time sales associate on the weekends. I was very clear in my interview that I work a standard 9 to 5 Monday through Friday and will be unavailable during those days. Literally one day before my first day they scheduled me to work on a Friday 10 A.M. to 3 P.M. At that point I knew this wouldn't end well. Apparently they just put everyone for that day, which I find ridiculous since I specifically told them I can't do Monday through Friday unless it was in the evening.

On my first day, the manager did not treat any of the new employees with respect nor any professionalism. We were given very little training and told that we would be hosting two parties that day and next week I would have to handle one on my own. For this being minimum wage, I decided that it wasn't worth it and I would quit right then and there. It's a shame since I enjoy Lego and figured it would be a great way to supplement my income, but poor leadership and a lack of respect from the manager soured me from continuing any further.

Side note, I'm not a fan of how some jobs like to throw their employees in the fire and yell at them for not performing up to expectations. Not sure how you can expect a great performance without adequate training nor time for it. I also would appreciate if managers would be able to possess a minimum amount of respect for their employees, but I guess that's just too much to ask for.

So I want to mentioned I loved my co workers and even the manger! We would work on restocking, making displays, ensuring customer wellness and overall just have a great time. But the corporate side of things is a mess and they even threaten you at times. The company itself is completely disgusting and I don't recommend anyone to work here because of that. 

Awesome environment to work in. I love my coworkers, my manager, and the owner. I get to build LEGO all day. The only thing that kinda sucks is the pay, but if your'e in high school it would be a good first time job! For being an AFOL, it's just a nice bit of play money. Definitely can't live on it, but I'm not complaining.

Worked here for 4 years and only left to gain more work experience related to my studies in college. No other job will ever compare! Fun, friendly environment and hiring prioritizes fun and energetic people. Customers here are better than normal retail customers and love to talk to staff! Great place overall

The culture is great a lot of like minded individuals building searching and having a good time. Building sets for people to look at and organizing pieces for customers to look through is tedious but always great fun.

Good for a first entry level job, the work is not too demanding and customers are typically polite. Sometimes you'll experience some micromanaging, but overall management is kind and flexible. Your daily tasks will be very repetitive, but if you're looking for a comfortable job this is a decent place to work.

Bricks and Minifigs is a fun place to work, with all kinds of projects to do each day.  Between sorting LEGO pieces, building sets, and events, its a great place to work for.

Never recommending this to anyone,  owners and management talked about each other behind their backs, employees constantly coming and going, tasks and duties constantly changing without notice, and incredibly rude owners

Good work enviroment. Its the best customer service, retail associate position I ever had.

I was cultured again. Too busy with studies after working hard in college.
