Pros

It was a chance to work for an esteemed company and one of the great American consumer brands. Hallmark offered excellent work/life balance, good pay, smart and creative co-workers, outstanding headquarter amenities and plenty of training opportunities.

Cons

Hallmark has struggled to adapt to the digital economy and its management has been unable to form and stick with a clear vision for the company. The company has lost a lot of its creative talent in recent years due to retirements and layoffs. Hallmark is also top-heavy with middle- and senior management who often seem more interested in protecting their political standing than helping to find solutions that will secure the company's future.

Pros

For a working creative, you'll be hard-pressed to find a better job. Working with famous brands, collaborating with some of the most talented creative minds, and getting to make products that bring magic and joy to people's lives is an amazing and addictive feeling. Plus the hybrid structure and the PTO/my5days program are amazing for working families or travel lovers.

Cons

Senior leadership treats the company like their personal playground and often makes questionable decisions that negatively impact the business. Layoffs and re-organization of the business are regular occurrences, with only the top brass who don't actually make anything of profit being offered job security. When they semi-recently remodeled their corporate building, teams were told that asking for trash bins and water fountains in their work areas was "too much."
