Pros

Salary good for management (poor for associates, especially poor for Asst. Managers); Paid Time Off nice; Love most of the customers and some of the products; Nice 40% discount

Cons

Micromanaged down to the color socks you can wear. "Perfect Store" guidelines are a joke - they say Customers are the MOST important thing and Drop everything for the customer, but then come up with a 6 typed-page list of moronic tasks to make stores look "perfect". How does the color of the bathroom and such affect the bottom line - making money? Way too many pointless conference calls and an excessive amount of voice mails every day, most the regional manager rambling on and on about the same thing day after day. Customers do NOT want to be bombarded with questions REQUIRED to be directed to them. - the customers have even said this repeatedly in surveys.

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.
