Pros

-Not enough pros to hide the awful negative experience. -A pro would be to NOT work as this company. I read all the Glassdoor reviews, thinking it can't be that bad, but it is really bad! I should of listened to all of those reviews and the poor rating this company has. I would of saved myself a year of losing my self confidence and a year of learning nothing but the Spin Master process. It is a negative and toxic company to work for and no money in the world would make up for that kind of environment.

Cons

-Continue to say they aren't corporate...they are a billion dollar company and have toy factories in China and India, just admit what you are. -Constant bully mentality from upper management. Always felt anxious to go to work and be at work. Was scared to have meetings alone with manager. -They acquire companies, promise the original employees their jobs are safe and then do a mass firing, only to fill those exact same roles with cheaper, younger talent. -Each group is really cliquey and is almost against each other. Everyone loves to pass the buck and not take responsibilty. -Unrealistic asks with the small budget provided. -No support from HR, even when you express your mental health is at stake. -Constant cutbacks. -Company that rides the high of two accomplishments. -No team or company bonding experiences, if there is, they are very lackluster. -Having fun is looked down upon.

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.
