I have worked for them.......They pay crap and you get a whole 5 cent raise after a year of service.

[Silkdashocker]

What do they do?

American Greetings Cards: birthday, sympathy, et al. They also have (or at least had) a stuffed animal division. The job probably is going into the stores and cleaning up the displays and putting out need stuff.

wrapping paper and bows also. They also have a lot of floor displays around the holidays. You have to order and put up the supplies.

Its an okay job if you are on Social Security and can only make so much per month, that is why you usually see older women doing the job.

Im looking for people who need extra income and are looking for something to do on the side. The hours and days you work are mostly flexible (only about 4 mandatory days/year) and depending on how many stores you have, its great for people with kids or retirees who want to get out and about. Any more questions, let me know. This isnt spam.

As for the pay raise, its more than 5cents/year. Dont let your negative experience under a previous supervisor turn off someone who may really like the job. Thanks!
