Fun Place, Great People, Hard Work Required

Pros

Spin Master is a fast paced environment with lots of change. The company is product driven and motivated to make great product even when it's too late to really do so. The company realizes that it's foundation is innovation and drives for that in all its products. There are great people to collaborate with to make these products a reality and the environment is fun and energetic.

Cons

There are far too few people. Most of the work is done by even less of those people. One must be self driven and do lots of tasks outside of their core job in order to get a product or idea into the outside world. This is not a place for those looking to coast in their job. The company rewards those who make a difference and those who outwork their peers. Management is a bit too heavy and there are 3 competing philosophies that still need to be ironed into one process that everyone is happy to adopt.

Pros

Some flexibility with work environment in making your schedule since you are only part time. You play games and play with toys at the national meeting.

Cons

Very poor management at all levels of the department especially senior management. You really do not get any training when you are hired, a manager comes to your city to just basically deliver your materials. Management makes it well known that you are replaceable so hitting your quotas becomes only thing to care about. Inappropriate comments on conference calls are a regular thing as well as feeling the pressure to sell. Only a $20 gift card offered to the merchandiser that sells the most product.

Pros

Good brands and innovative product...

Cons

Imagine running a large company in Excel with no proper systems or procedures, it is amazing that this company is still afloat. Lots of finger pointing to other departments because everyone is confused on what their job really is. NO work/life balance with crazy schedules and unnecessary work.
