American Greetings Employee Reviews for Anonymous Employee

"American Greetings is nice place to work, I unfortunately came in just as the virus hit and I have had very little interaction with my fellow employees"

"Great company to work for mostly due to the employees. Being Private Equity-owned, there is a push for cost savings to offset a declining industry. Instead of diversifying the portfolio for topline growth with moderate cap-ex, there is chronic fear of failure which handicaps the utilization of their most valuable asset, the creative team."

"Fun place to work, great new building."

"I've worked for AGInteractive for 8 years. We have multiple locations including offices in Europe. I've been afforded the opportunity to learn and progress my career. You are expected to get the job done, praised for doing so, and management simply doesn't get in the way. “It’s not my job” is definitely not part of the vocabulary along with the absence of over-bearing corporate politics, micro managers, and useless\endless meetings. Simply put, it’s an environment that you can do your job, excel, learn new things, and contribute to strategic initiatives with the least amount of managerial BS\interference."

"I've worked for American Greetings for over 20 years. I have held various positions within the company and overall rank this company very good.
