Pros

Open office environment after the current restructure. The name sells somehow with clients who need low quality cheap work.

Cons

Unprofessional work culture, highly bureacracy, All policies, including diversity program where it stated indirect discrimination practice appear fair in form but are discriminatory in outcome, diversity is a joke. Senior Managers have tunnel visions, are mainly inexperienced, like to micromanage and would not knowledge share much less work catch ups and team building. There's no hope besides devaluing the brand or going into distributorships with stronger brands. Performance appraisal is an eye wash, work is never rewarded. Using Excel (which include manual counting cells and columns) to manage inventory of a global company with a net worth of USD 4 billion. Stone aged JDE system (85-87 version) to run a 21st century business.

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.
