Was fun working, but the management can be shady.
Head Cashier (Former Employee), San Diego, CA – April 5, 2013
Pros: room for advancement
Cons: manager can be a coward
I had a great time working there, progressed quickly, and got along great with the management. Was very busy around the holidays, and very productive. Unfortunatly, the management will watch you do something that you were informed ws not agnist company policy, then terimnate you over it, without ever saying something about it.

Thick skin a must
Cashier (Current Employee), Sterling, VA – March 29, 2013
Pros: 30% employee discount
Cons: no guaranteed end time for night shift, disagreeable staff
A typical day for my position involves exchanging goods for money, providing customer service, taking future orders, then cleaning. I learned how to operate a cash register and how to set shelves. Management has little experience and unsuitable traits to run a reputable store. The co-workers come in two varieties: calm and agreeable to be around or – more... cliquish and complaining. Despite the large workload thrust upon you, the hardest part is interacting with the staff. My favorite duty is inflating mylar balloons. – less

I can't wait to go to work!
Cashier (Former Employee), San Diego, CA – March 25, 2013
Everyone at my Party City location, always were cheerful and excited about the days events! When having numerous task to complete, it never felt like work! I was the newest person at my location, so all my co-workers would show me safe/fun ways to complete all my task! The whole management team were superb! They worked with my hours outside of work, – more... and genuinely cared about everyone on the team. The hardest part was not having in stock what the customer was looking for. Being a much smaller store we didn't care things that other Party City's did. The best part of work was the balloon counter, and being able to show my creative side when creating the balloon set for parties, weddings, and other special events. Seeing the shock on my customers faces, and to see how pleased they were really put a smile on my face. – less

A Good Company
General Manager (Former Employee), Richmond, VA – March 22, 2013
Pros: good discount, good pay
Cons: bad communication
A typical day would consist of putting out freight and customer service. The upper management didn't communicate very well or clearly to lower management. Because of the pay and the environment the co-workers were great. The hardest part of the job would have been during Halloween, however, this would have been also the most enjoyable past as it's very – more... busy and there is always something going on to keep you occupied. – less

a seasonal type of job, catering to party supplies
Supervisor (Former Employee), East Point, GA – March 20, 2013
Pros: get to meet a lot of people
Cons: low pay, hardly any hours, no compesation, no stability
A typical day at work would be to stock and fill your designated areas, unload and receive shipments. The co-workers would be very nice and helpful. Hours are very limited, only promised more then 30+ hours if full time, which no one is unless your a manager.

Cashier/Stocker (Former Employee), Monroe, NC – March 18, 2013
I got fired from this place because I was short on my register at the end of the day, and they accused me of stealing the money that I was short, also the GM would always talk bad and mean about me behind my back.
