      I have been working at American Greetings part-time for more than 2 years

      Pros

      The job allows you to have a flexible schedule so there's a great work/life balance. Technology is also up-to-date so there are no issues when it comes to merchandising product. Managers are also extremely nice.

      Cons

      You can only work a set number of hours. If you go over you're told to cut down next time even though that might mean you won't be doing your job as good.

      Advice to Management

      It would be nice if things came with better instructions so set up and take down could be easier.

        I have been working at American Greetings part-time

        Pros

        Autonomy/no micromanaging and schedule flexibility.

        Cons

        You have to work at least 10-15 stores to make more than gas or light bill money. Have to dispose of unsold product without being allowed to have it marked down, basically throwing money away. No benefits for the people who put out the product much of which customers consider overpriced. Wear and tear on vehicle.

        Advice to Management

        If you really want to thank your employees, esp the ones doing the field work(without benefits), how about a useful $10 gas card instead of a greeting card please? Also, please allow store merchants to mark down at least some of the unsold seasonal product instead of having the mdsrs just throw it out. I've had store employees appalled that we're actually throwing so much money away. I don't understand it either
