800Flowers Link
From what I have seen go to the bottom of their homepage, and look for the tab called 'employment'. Now what I have seen in the past is a listing of job, but towards the top of that list it mentions:
Learn more about Customer Service - Part-Time Work from Home Opportunity
Note: To be considered for this position, please read this entire section carefully.
That was listed by itself - in a large purple box away from the other employment descriptions. I almost missed it!

Scheduling Requirement
The nature of the 1-800-flowers.com workload is dependent upon the number of customers that are placing orders. We typically have a steady flow of workload, however during peaks periods such as Thanksgiving, Christmas, Valentine’s Day and Mother’s Day our workload increases significantly. We refer to these periods as our “Gold Rush Periods.” During Gold Rush Periods, we require Home Agent Specialists to work 8 – 10 hour shifts on gold days. Gold days are generally 2 – 4 leading up to the day of the holiday and 1 – 3 days following the holiday. Based on your availability, there is a possibility that you could work many more hours during the “Gold Rush Period.”
