Pros

Excellent master artists to work with, health plan, flex time, great co-workers, wonderful work campus

Cons

the company can't keep up in a modern, paperless world and work environment is unstable and always shifting, constant layoffs, two-facedness among senior staff. Perks like "ice cream afternoons" just a ploy to distract from the long hours and double/triple workloads the staff expects you to do to keep the company afloat and the constant blame senior staff places on employees for a sinking ship. Don't expect to be there long if they haven't moved completely to freelancing out by now- massive layoffs were 2-3 times a year.

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.
