Party City Prepares to Hire Approximately 25,000 for Halloween Season
September 04 2019 - 6:59AM
Party City (NYSE: PRTY) announced today that it plans to hire
approximately 25,000 temporary employees and open up approximately
275 Halloween City pop-up stores in preparation for a busy
Halloween season. The company expects to retain about 10 percent of
these employees following the Halloween season.
President of Party City Holdco Inc. and Chief Executive Officer
of Party City Retail Group, Brad Weston said, “We are excited to
welcome talented new team members to the Party City community. We
pride ourselves on having a work environment that encourages
professional development and fosters growth amongst associates. Our
seasonal jobs often lead to permanent employment and even long-term
careers for some.”
According to Party City Human Resources, approximately 15
percent of current Party City associates begin their careers with
the company as seasonal Halloween associates. Oftentimes,
associates are given the opportunity to work in a pop-up store to
develop their skills and grow with the company to eventually manage
their own store.
Party City strives to provide quality benefits that meets the
needs of associates and their families while minimizing costs. Our
goal is to reward associates’ loyalty and commitment to the
organization by making them feel valued and appreciated as members
of the team.
