Pros

Get to work with Greeting Cards. How can you have a bad day working with greeting cards?

Cons

Territory Mgr of 15 Merchandisers and 41 stores and you are limited to 20 hrs per wk. Not informed during hiring process or in any written or verbal communication that you are limited to 1400 hrs per yr - period. Training provided by previous employee that has been trying to retire for over a yr and consists of showing you where greeting cards are located in each store. Managers/Company breeds unhappy employees, backstabbing peers, deniable accountability, and yelling is the only form of communication. Any information that affects you, your income, your job and your life is held over your head as some big mystery that is controlled by the great and powerful OZ.

Pros

Great company and great people! Very thorough training program.

Cons

It can be hard work! Some stores don't have deliveries where they're suppose to be and you have to go searching. You have an allotted amount time to spend at each store.

Pros

You really set your own schedule but there is a mandatory break after around 4 hours of working. There's no one over you and you're pretty much doing your own thing which I appreciate. I'm still learning the ins and out as I am new but I love this job, overall. Its very unique.

Cons

This has nothing to do with other hallmark employees, they have all been great. A couple of employees at one of the stores I service aren't the most professional people and their actions have been unnecessary. Fortunately, all of the other stores I service have normal employees.
