I love working with children
Sales Associate (Former Employee), Orland Park, IL – March 16, 2013
Pros: making children smile all day and throwing birthday parties.
Cons: lack of products/ toys avaliable for the kids.
Answer the phones, make appointments, wash hair, clean up cut hair, disinfect every chair after a haircut, cash customers out. Create birthday parties for our party room. Paint nails, join in on the crafts, play dress up, glitter make up, do a red carpet run way show. Make and sure the children are smiling and not crying. Be as goofy as you want play – more... movies all day and blow bubbles. Management was amazing really nice and respectable. She compensates for all the workers there. Hardest part was dealing with the children that cried their eyes out that you can't make happy no matter what you do. The best part of my day was just playing with all the kids. – less

Tough Culture
Team Lead (Current Employee), Miami, FL – March 16, 2013
A very stress driven job for the most part. As a manager you are almost REQUIRED to be 24/7 accessible. Rarely are managers promoted from within, mostly outside hires.

Fun environment
Front End Supervisor (Current Employee), Roseville, CA – March 11, 2013
Customer service is a fun thing to deal with, never know what you'll get next. But Party City and their managers are just over their head with their egos. It's a very simple job, and to be belittled and questioned if I could complete a task is not rewarding. Co-workers are great, we always have a wonderful time.

Long & unpredictable work schedules along with poor Store Mgr.
Assistant Manager (Former Employee), Miami, FL – March 8, 2013
Pros: i learned many different skills
Cons: brutal work hours during peak seasons as well as during inventories.
A typical day for me was a 9 hour shift having many duties such as operating a register, janitorial work, stocking, writing schedules, verifying deposits, opening/closing the store & much more. Sadly the management in this company was also a bad experience for me as the General Manager was condescending & harassed much of the staff. The hardest part – more... of the job was working with him. The most enjoyable part was working with the staff as I had a good relationship with just about all of them. – less

Poor Management and lazy employees
Stocker (Former Employee), Bakersfield, CA – March 6, 2013
Pros: overtime hours
Cons: weak managers
My typical day was ok, I would stay busy finding things to do and work on when management was just "chilling" in the office. I was only seasonal, but the ragular employees acted as if they were seasonal just not taking the job seriously. To break it down it was a good source of money because of the hours and overtime, but a poor facility of workers.

cramped back room. couldn't ever sit down. boss was a jerk.
back room (Former Employee), Naperville, IL – March 5, 2013
Pros: good pay, enjoyable associates
Cons: bad work times, management issues, and unfriendly back room.
i would arrive on time, clock in, and go to the back. every time i made a mistake the boss would tell me, but never complimented me on what i did right. i had to stand for hours, only getting a 15 minute dinner break, and we had to clean everything to our bosses liking, and he was VERY picky.

Worst Place ever
Assistant Manager (Former Employee), Mayaguez, PR – February 28, 2013
Owners want to keep control of the company and have no clue of what happen at the stores. Fired good people and let the people who stole and mistreat people do what ever they want.
