This is not the "original" Toysmith. The Toysmith prior to new ownership was a family who valued and cared deeply for their employees. These employees had deep friendships with one another, watched one another grow, get married, raise families. The "Toysmith" name and company was considered gold in the industry. A company who valued their customers and rep groups. Now the current owners/CEO/Executive Leadership have dishonored the name and the company it once was. I'm not saying that as a business ages, changes shouldn't be made. It's important that you can pivot in other directions to grow and adapt to changes in the industry when necessary, but they have completely disrespected the Toysmith name and created a very negative, ugly reputation in the toy industry. Their heartless, ruthless ways have shown over the past several years, including massive layoffs, but then posting new "similar" positions for more money. The industry is very aware of the treatment they've shown past and current employees. They work you to the bone, long days, volunteer work in the warehouse, now that so many quality, knowlegeable employees who understand the business are no longer there. During these layoffs, no empathy, no care, no value to employees who put their hearts and souls into everything they did to support the Toysmith brand and direction of the company. If you want to feel valued, supported and be able to trust leadership, this is not the company for you - that Toysmith is gone. Whoever this company is now, they are not the true Toysmith.
