What suggestions do you have for management?

"My suggestion would be to stay on top of the employers at all times to make sure they are doing what they are getting paid to do."

"A good company for learning retail and advancing to a store manager role."

"Is generally a good place to work, but as in any job, they have their bad details, in my case, they didn't pay me for one time, that the care get there at 4 in the morning (as required) and the manager arrived at 5am. That hour waiting was a not-payed waste hour. And being at that time (4 in the morning) is something a little bit big."

"I started working for Party City at 16 years old. While it was a great job for an inexperienced teenager, I found that what Party City lacked was consistency in Operations from Manager to Manager and scheduling errors were made frequently which caused there to be either too many or not enough people working at one time. This was inevitably what made it impossible to stay."

"I started at Party City as a Design Specialist right before they discontinued the position. I was not happy to be forced into management because I loved my job in the Design Studio. It was made more miserable by poor store morale and awful work load in Halloween set ups. Hated this place!"

"I worked for Party City as a General Manager for 10 years, I was a part of a set of franchised stores, I enjoyed my time there, Flexible schedules, be ready to wear many hats, always something to do, never downtime."

"I've worked for Party City for a while now, and it is the worst retail job I've ever had. Corporate sets unreal weekly expectations with a laughable payroll. Basically no hours to have the manpower to get things done. Lazy and ignorant upper management make getting tasks done even more difficult. Alerting HR offers no anonymity or protection from reprisals. Politics between upper management and DMs is rampant. If you're not in their crowd you have nothing but berating to look forward to on a weekly basis or threats of being written up and terminated. The waste ($$$) here is astounding."

"They hire tons of high school kids because they're cheap labor, but they also don't do their jobs well, you get stuck picking up their slack while still getting paid very poorly and treated badly. Severely inconsistent schedule, 1 week it's as many hours as you want, next week it's only 10. They over hire and under pay to avoid benefits and overtime. Don't work for this company you'll hate it."
