Working at Amscan in Elmsford, NY: 7 Employee Job Reviews by Real Employee working in Elmsford, NY Area

"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.
