Pros
- get thrown into the fire and are exposed to a lot of different roles (great for the young pup wanting to learn the ropes about the toy industry) - the opportunity to learn about the toy industry is there, but tasks are assigned and oftentimes, are not assigned to the right people.
Cons
- no room for career advancement - low salary compared to the industry norm - poor compensation - 3 rounds of layoffs in last 4 years (the most recent being about 20% of the company) all because management can't make the right decisions and overpromises on sales. - ppor inventory management lead to the most recent shortcomings of the company. - recently hired over 3 executives from Sharpie to lead the company. They do not know anything about Toys. only penny pinching (large corporation tactics). - upper manage constantly tries to teach "corporate" values which they don't follow themselves.
