Hallmark?
Curious if anyone knows anything, first or second hand, about Hallmark corporate as an employer? My wife is exploring some options, and they're a possibility.

I can think of nothing worse.

Just me.

You can consider the opinion of a college drop out with an illegitimate kid who's worked for 2 different corporate entities right before they went tits up, or not.

I watched two businesses basically burn under my watch doing what I was told. The 2nd time I didn't stick around to tell everyone they were fired, I quit when I saw it coming and moved on...

Really interesting. I make more of my own these days digitally or paper. I think a physical card shows more thoughtfulness myself.

The problem is that the demographic who considers evites trashy and impersonal likely have similar feelings about Hallmark, seeing it as akin to Wal-Mart.

They're kind of stuck in a bad place as a company because they're too big to capture niche markets, but the overall market is decreasing.
They've gotten into some nice developments with dimension and even sound. Some are quite beautiful verging on a homemade look. But just their regular card prices are just too high.

After being on my own for a good while, my ship is going to have to sink before I can go back to anything corporate. That's just me, and our industries are vastly different but that's where I am.

You should probably ask her some pretty serious questions about how she's going to handle it when a good idea gets bound up in bureaucracy, or how she's going to handle it when some worthless POS keeps their job despite their gross ineffectiveness because corporate.

EDIT: I really do miss the reduced stress and increased stability of a normal job but there is no way I could do it unless I had no other choice

Both of my in-laws retired from Hallmark. Worked there for decades.

It does feel as if the greeting card industry is in a decline. The Hallmark brand i feel like has sort of of image problem. It screams 'old and grandma'


Do greeting cards mean anything to the under 30 crowd??


I do still love the Hallmark Christmas ornaments. We must have thousands of those things. Dont buy as many as we used to though.

Hallmark isnt going anywhere. I am a contracted employee for them. Hallmark owns crayola, and produces every disney product that is paper(napkins, plates, cups, party decorations,etc), they own eveything downtown from pershing to 27th, and gilham to main. Tjat includes condo towers, office buildings, a mall, and here recently is renting out millions of square footage to children's mercy hopsital. They are long term viable. Certain departments aren't, but as a whole, they are not going anywhere.

So everything you sell is a licensed picture on an object no one wants.

No one wants to send a card.
Think about it.

No matter what you do it's awkward....

One more prime example of KC's deep roots.

I know artists who have worked for them...used to dream about working there as a kid.

My wife worked for Hallmark Cards from after she graduated HS to when she quit to be a stay at home Mom at age 36. Started at the Liberty Distribution Center and worked her way up from Order Picker to her last job as a Manager in Seasonal Products at the downtown location. (She worked in Production, Logistics, Human Resources, Inside Sales and finally in Seasonal Merchandising.)

She always liked working for Hallmark back then because they were an employee-centric Corporation. But that was before all the layoffs and retirements that happened along with the change in the industry. Many of her friends worked there for several years after she left but many of them left out of worry for their jobs.

Interestingly enough, about 5 months ago she took a Merchandising position here locally with Hallmark. It's one that lets her work part time hours and gain some extra money for our retirement without too much stress.
