Pros

Regular Mon-Fri typical business hours and very little weekend work. If you are fulltime you get medical insurance and paid holidays. Product is neat and is always changing so it keeps it interesting. Company keeps acquiring new brands. Free toys offered during the holiday season.

Cons

Single basic tasks become long drawn out processes by senior retail operations management. This senior retail ops management has a big ego with little value and maturity. Performance KPI reviews are not based on performance, but on how obedient senior management feels you are. Senior management prefers managing perception and not doing what is best for the product in stores. To much pressure being pushed onto the retail merchandisers to sell. Stocking and merchandising should be priority not dts orders just so senior management can show the partners some numbers.

Pros

My coworkers were the heart of the company. Excellent PTO and benefits.

Cons

Rely heavily on inventors and freelancers. No room to actually innovate and design. Management level was promoted based on office politics and not experience/success. Very cliquey in times where you question if someone was speaking behind your back, turns out they were.
