I applied through an employee referral. The process took 1 day. I interviewed at American Greetings (Wilmington, DE) in Nov 2008
Interview
The interview was really just a conversation. Honestly I don't think the person interviewing me really wanted to interview anyone. We just talked about my resume and background and that was pretty much it. The company in general isn't the most popular place to work. Most of the people I know that have worked there in the past say you usually just go through the motions. I decided to interview there because I had a long layover after my last job and I was getting desperate for some income. In the end I was low-balled on an offer and then subsequently they withdrew their offer when they seemingly found someone else. ALl in all I wasn't too upset about it- I didn't think it was a great place to work anyway. My advice would be to hang in there and try to get a job you would reasonably like- don't get something just for the sake of working, unless you absolutely have to.

I applied online. The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at American Greetings (Danville, KY)
Interview
I had done a phone interview and then an in person interview and tour. The people were nice and answered all the questions I had. The place felt very out of date. As professional as the team was, I was unfortunately ghosted. I felt very confident when I left that I would be contacted back at least one more time but heard nothing back. No phone call, no text, no email. No rejection or offer. I attempted to write them but no luck. This ended up being a huge red flag in my book.
