Pros

The creative staff is an assembly of amazing and diverse employees from around the world who bring expertise in design, editorial, and innovation. They are an inspiring group of visionaries and entrepreneurs who find solutions by applying their keen empathy to their remarkable skill set.

Cons

The creative staff has been significantly reduced due to numerous layoffs. Hallmark's purse-strings are tightly controlled by a marketing team that holds the creative department in contempt, holding onto a belief that the company can thrive with the right amount of spreadsheets. Hallmark's HR department is populated with corporate type A's who shuffle people about and out with impunity, creating an environment of fear and anxiety. The sales force are an old-school gathering of dimwits whose sales techniques are outdated and embarrassing. Executive leadership of the company lacks vision, optimism, and common sense.

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.
