Amscan Employee Job Reviews in the United States

"I worked here for just about 4 years including my freelance tenure, and in that time had a few different supervisors and directors. Some good, some terrible, but overall they made the place harder to work at as they were not flexible at all towards the end. They did not facilitate any time of camaraderie amongst the individual artists and you felt like you couldn't wait to leave as soon as you arrived!"

"Tremendous lack of creativity in the design process. Directors do not let designers make creative decisions. Directors and managers need to have control over entire design process. Tremendous lack of decision making. I have never seen product lines take so long to be developed."

What don't you like about working at Amscan?

"Amscan is fantastic at throwing parties -- and facades. Between every employee's birthday, every holiday in most countries, there was always a a party. Why To test out their party products to make the mostly temps feel as if they had a permanent future there Who knows.But if you did not attend a party -- such as Leap Year you were ostracized and when you DID attend then you were marked as not working hard enough, so the pressure was to stay late or work on weekends. Personally, a cheap party every day that cuts into my personal life is not worth it."
