Mattel – “Great benefits...medicore leadership.

Jan 25, 2009

5.0

Mattel Director in El Segundo, CA:   (Past Employee - 2008)

Pros

Great benefits package: half day Fridays throughout the year, 13 holidays plus week between Christmas and New Years off, 401K contribution even if you don't, 4% 401K match contribution if you contribute 6%, restricted stock and stock options for directors and above, access to a host of online education courses.

Financially stable and generally invest in the betterment/education of the workforce both at the staff and management level.

Cons

Depending upon your position can require a significant amount of travel. Do more with less resources but expect the same output as before...leads to long hours. Not flexible enough on telecommuting. Too many exceptions to the rule depending upon which department you work in. Inconsistency of senior leadership across the board. Management committee can be indecisive on making strategic business decisions.

Advice to Senior Management

Be less litigious and more creative in your business decisions. Be more open during layoffs...everyone generally knows anyway.
