American Greetings Senior Graphic Designer in Cleveland, OH:   (Current Employee)

Pros

I really like the work that I do.

Cons

Senior management is incompetent and they tend to hire other incompetent managers from the top down.
Senior management is overpaid as they are brought in with high salaries, but do not have to be accountable. No incentives for them to make a positive difference as they have their big salaries. American Greetings ownership believe dollars bring in top senior management. Has not show to be the case. They take the money for their 3-5 year contracts and then leave. A lot of other competent people could perform these management jobs for a lot less that are good and hard workers-and be offered incentive packages if they reach certain goals. There is a lost of dead weight not only in management but in non management positions. However, during downsizing, good workers are often cut by incompetent management as they are unaware of the value and skill level of their staff.

Advice to Senior Management

To many unqualified managers and too little people to do the work. Thus sub par product.
