Pros

Well I suppose having a job is a pro but I was looking at cashier jobs at a grocery store just to get out of this place. Health insurance is good if its just you with no dependents. If you like poorly made toys, you'll get to take some home.

Cons

Insane work hours 50+ Hope you like working Saturdays So much work that you pray for more hours in every day No training but you're required to be able to do everything. No extra time off for holidays, and you need to make up the time you do have off. Don't be sick cause you'll need to come into work on Saturday to make up that time. I could go on...and on. Seriously this place is toxic. I watched 8 people come and go during the time I worked there. The owner has severe issues and has no idea how to manage a company. Not a single person that works there is happy and everyone admits the only reason why they stay is because they have no where else to go. You've been warned!

Pros

A creative company working to design educational toys for kids! Over 30 years of experience and established marketplace position in the industry is definitely a plus. For those of you who want to work in a start-up and eat Skittles and popcorn all day, this is not the place. However, if you are interested in gaining professional experience in a business environment with design practices, then I highly recommend. The employees who stay at the company are ones that understand the true nature of getting things done and will excel in their profession.

Cons

You cannot make a toy overnight!

Pros

Having a job was a good thing, not having one less so. The pay was ok, on the surface. Free soda and snacks in the company fridge.

Cons

Everything everyone has said on this site about the owner is spot on accurate. I wish I would have checked on Glassdoor.com before I worked there, it would have saved me a lot of grief. I was hired into a Senior Management role at the company and was promised the world. Within two days it was apparent what the unwritten rules were and I realized that the entire workforce was working under a paralysis of fear. People around the office are generally petrified of the owner who doesn't hesitate to publicly berate you for things that are either not your fault or in some cases totally irrelevant. 10-12 hour work days as the norm, but of course they don't say that when they hire you. You're expected to go along with the program and do more than your fair share as a matter of course with no recognition or even thanks for doing do. Some days were 16+ hours and the normal work day was 12 hours. There were days I worked 16+ hours only to be told we can't take a taxi home that we must walk or deal with it on our own. Working in a warehouse in zero degree temps with no heat. Avoid this place at all costs, it's better to drive Uber and have some self respect and work life balance. The money is the same or greater than what 90% of their employees make.
