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.

They are going through a massive downsizing and cost-cutting process right now. It's been that way for several years.

I worked there for 15 years, left 10 years ago. Used to be a great place to work.

Yeah. They're redoing their line and storefronts to try to compete with Paper Source and going for a more "boutique" type store, which is actually where my wife's interest comes in as she's pretty well known and respected in the boutique paper industry.

I do worry about the long term feasibility of the company.

As I recall, she was into designing patterns right?

Well. That's her Background but she's worked as creative director for a paper company and now owns her own store which is pretty "famous" in paper circles (25k instagram followers).

I'm not surprised due to internet cards but their prices are out-of-site.

They tried to hire me out of art school ( had to take a few more courses to satisfy them as it was for 3D ceramics that weren't my major) ....and I was like, wtf...Kansas city?? No way! They were a great employee back then. My mom wanted me to take it.

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.

I'm hoping to get a job in the Blank Inside card department.

seems like it would be a pretty easy gig.

It's been ~8 years, but I really enjoyed working for them... at least back then, it was pretty obvious they took full advantage of being a private company by taking care of their employees, without the pressures of cutting costs and increasing stock price. But, I know they've downsized since then, so I don't know how much they've changed benefits, perks, raises, etc.

It seems like Hallmark is always laying people off, cutting costs or restructuring. They're a bit like Sprint in that way. That being said, I have many friends that have worked there for 10+ years and they all seem to enjoy it.

Too big of a company to get a feel for the overall stability of any individual department. One would think that creative would be a safer place to be than middle management for sure.

That place is going downhill. I applied there awhile back, sent them my resume and a few samples of my work. They didn't like any of it. What greeting card company would pass on quality shit like this :

MONEY'S SCARCE
TIMES ARE HARD
HERE'S YOUR ****ING CHRISTMAS CARD



P.S. I was going to put $50 dollars in here for you but I've already sealed the envelope.
