Pros

You get a chance to see the life cycle of a product from concept, through design and development, into production and then on the retailer shelf. You are also exposed to other departments, and learn how their roles need to interact for a product to become successful.

Cons

Deadlines can be tight, and due to the seasonality of the toy industry, constant changes can create confusion and cause reworks to what was thought to be completed projects. They make an honest attempt to communicate to all employees/teams, but as with most companies, too often employees that are executing the work are left out of important decisions or changes.

Pros

The best part of working here is the people. Coworkers are collaborative, work hard, and support one another. Leadership has had to navigate some challenges but have generally tried to be transparent and communicative throughout. Company offers flexibility and a lot of opportunities to learn and grow.

Cons

Tariffs and external market challenges have been difficult.

Pros

Opportunity to learn to work under pressure and manage tight deadlines Some coworkers are hardworking and professional Exposure to projects that can build resilience Potential to be a better workplace if invested

Cons

Leadership is not transparent: major changes, layoffs, and freezes happen with little communication until after the fact. Company blames the economy for cuts, yet continues to spend in ways that feel inconsistent. Poor pay compared to workload and expectations. Long hours and stressful deadlines with little recognition or support. Very weak office culture with no real sense of community, everyone is on edge, and there’s no social environment. Minimal benefits that don’t make up for the stress. Constant turnover year-round
