Seasonal Employment FAQs

We're an e-commerce site - which you've probably figured out by now. We are one of the largest online retailers of exclusive clothing, unique collectibles, and awesome gifts through our main brands of HalloweenCostumes.com and FUN.com that you won't find anywhere else! We get up, we ride scooters, and we sell fun stuff around the world, every single day... and every Halloween, we have such a busy season that we need a lot of help!

We've been a part of the Mankato, Minnesota community in one way or another for over 20 years, we have offices in Colorado, we've just opened a state-of-the art new distribution center in Elsmere Kentucky, and we're always growing by leaps and bounds.

The way we see it, it's our job to put some joy into people's lives through our products and have fun while we're at it too.

It depends on your availability and when you submit your application. If you submit an application in July, it may be a few weeks before we call you. Early in Season, we concentrate on applicants with daytime availability. Our hours of operation usually begin to expand in late August and September. That's when we start calling people with evening and weekend availability.

Absolutely not. A conviction does not automatically disqualify an applicant from employment. The Company makes an individualized assessment of each applicant's applicable history (to the extent permissible by law and state specific regulations) based upon factors such as the nature of the offense/conduct, the nature of the position for which an applicant is being considered, when the offence/conduct occurred and the applicant's age at that time, the facts surrounding the offense/conduct, the number of offenses for which the applicant was convicted, the applicant's employment history prior to and subsequent to the offense/conduct, rehabilitation efforts, and any federal, state, or local government prohibitions on employing individuals convicted of a particular offense/conduct.
