American Greetings reviews

-Very unrealistic about EVERYTHING!! -They will give you about 4 hours a week to complete tasks that take anywhere from 6-10 hours or more to be completed and then get mad at you when you don't complete your tasks. -Management has entitlement issues. Very snotty and rude. -They give merchandisers very outdated equipment, and expect them to work their butts off for very, very little pay -The pay is so low it really only pays the gas it takes you to travel to and from your accounts. -Oddly enough I was very stressed out during my time at American Greetings. I never knew being something as petty as a "Card fluffer" could be such a head ach. -When I first started I was told that my boss was not able to keep merchandisers in my area. Now I know why.

Greetings Cards business itself is struggling since last several years. Fact is new generations are not into Greeting Cards. AG business lacks innovation. Company recently taken over by NY based investment firms. Since then layoffs, restructuring and reducing team size, closing operations is the only way to curb the cost. They have stopped all major long-term strategic projects and focus is towards cost cutting. 80 percent workforce furloughed due to Covid19 situation. Even if they resume, there is already too much uncertainty and work pressure. Although I loved working here, unfortunately I don't see light towards end of the tunnel. Stay away.
