Pros

Excellent salary, good benefits, caliber of talent in the building is phenomenal. Most co-workers are very kind, fun people. Great proximity to restaurants and shopping at Crown Center. You will learn a lot and it will be a gem on your resume, but in this day & age a career there is short-lived.

Cons

Not entirely the company's fault that it is slowly withering away; the digital age has largely decimated ink-on-paper communication. However, risk-averse leadership and processes with far too many layers of approval are a time-honored tradition at Hallmark, in addition to a weird clique of middle & upper managers who seems to always avoid accountability for poor retail performance (and remain magically unaffected by round after round of layoffs). If you are over 50 you can be certain that it is only a matter of time before you get handed your severance contract. Talent mix is ignored in favor of younger, hipper designers who look good in YouTube vids & blog posts. Endless silly meetings (and don't forget the cover sheet on your TPS report).

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.
