How to Work for Hallmark
While some companies make, sell and distribute things, Hallmark is another kind of company. It has played a special role in defining and expressing friendship, family and love for nearly 100 years. A $4.4 billion company with more than 43,000 retail stores in the United States and 100 countries around the world, Hallmark gives a voice to people's feelings, providing a way to express themselves. Hallmark offers both flexible and part-time positions in field merchandising around the United States and full-time positions in its Kansas City, Missouri headquarters. Positions are available in creativity, corporate and manufacturing positions with benefits that include profit-sharing, 401K, tuition reimbursement and discounts.
