        Pros

        Happy to spend where needed; IT Infrastructure, using contractors to support Progressive and forward thinking Open for Change Fun place to work (outside management)

        Cons

        Micro Management is engrained into the system, its stifling and suffocating. Senior management doesn't seem to see it. Just because someone has been in the business for a long period of time, doesn't mean they're a good manager. People leave businesses because of poor managers, not poor businesses, this is absolutely the case at Amscan. They should look at attrition rates within specific teams and touch base with the team members on how they're feeling.

          Brilliant team of people working together across a fascinating global business and category product. Values & behaviours at the heart of everything the business does. Amazing opportunities to broaden skills and experience.

          Cons

          With a history of mergers & acquisitions, its a complex business to be part of, so everyday business can feel a little overwhelming with the number of different processes and people to engage with!

                      Technical Solutions Engineer

                      1. What to do if you cannot provide your manager or other leaders as references from your previous workplace? 2. How to answer interview Qs about my previous workplace or manager? For the context! I worked for a workplace for 8-9 months. But, there were ethical issues from the side of leaders including my manager, and senior employees that made me quit my job. Also, many leaders & senior coworkers were either fired or quit their jobs a few months after I did. Thanks in advance!

                      Has anyone ever been called back for a job they were first rejected from only to be rejected again? Does this happen often?

                      VP of Sales/director of Business Development

                      During the first screening interview I have been asked at times about my job search status and if I am talking to others. While this is probably a question they have no right to ask, I wonder if there is a right or wrong answer. If I say I am interviewing with 2-3 companies, they may feel it is not worth the extra effort to continue the discussion. If I say I am not actively interviewing, it may be a negative sign. Any idea about where they are coming from? (WFH & free agent for a while)
