Sad Times again

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.

Like a bad STORM!

Pros

Retail Merchandising had its flexibility with making your own schedule and determining your own travel. Full benefits and they gave mileage for all the driving that has to be done.

Cons

Retail merchandising was run by people who don't have the required skills to do their jobs. Management is untrained and under qualified. Not a healthy environment and its why there is so many people that quit after 4 weeks. All decisions are made last minute and leaves everyone to scramble. Always working out of fear and never felt jobs were safe, and management wanted us working in fear. Like a bad STORM the damage is felt for a long time.

Worked to death

Pros

They are a toy company on the rise, and if you can get resources, are on the right team, and the owners like your ideas, you will have a lot of room to play with your creativity.

Cons

There is zero, zilch empathy about the long hours and extreme workload most staff experience. I work 70-80 hours a week and at least one day on the weekends and still can't keep up. I am a highly efficient person (actually won an award at my last job for that) so it's not me. This company will work you to death and not bat an eye. The turnover rate is really high. If you are part of one of the acquired companies you will be left out of all the resources and will not be integrated - I advise you to look for another job because it's not going to be better, your life will become hell. Project management only exists in a few quarters and communication between teams is very poor with only a few exceptions. It's really sad to have to leave this review, I was very optimistic at first, but I'm just so tired now it's hard to be positive. I am finally starting to look for another job because I know I'm just a number here now.
