Terrible place to work if you are over 25 years old with any experience

Pros

Full time benefits, you can sleep on the job. Many people just hang out in the bathroom or kitchen pretending to be busy and no one notices.

Cons

No room for advancement. Terrible management. Managers have held their positions for too long becoming too comfortable with their positions which results in lack of any leadership. Management talks down to employees behind closed doors as well as acting very condescending right in front of them. Most employees have no other job opportunities and no spine to stand up for themselves resulting in management taking advantage of them and overworking the ones that do not know when to say no. If you are looking for a job where you are treated like just a number and want to collect a steady paycheck without having to do any real, good work this job is for you.

Pros

- Creative environment, - easy-going and casual atmosphere -If you just want to get a couple years of experience and don't expect high pay, this is not a bad place to work .

Cons

Everything other employees have posted on Glassdoor regarding poor management is true. For anyone hoping to advance by means of promotion, forget it. I have watched employees who have worked here for years with expert knowledge and skills, be passed over for newly hired and highly degreed managers who have lousy management skills. The management group is essentially a clique and unless there is a serious breach, no manager will get fired. There is also a lot of favoritism among certain managers and employees, who despite displaying little usefulness and goofing off the largest percentage of the day, will not get fired either. If you just want to get a couple years of experience, this is not a bad place to work, as you will likely like your team members and have some fun. However, don't get stuck believing any promises hiring managers may make - time and time again, I have seen young and eager candidates disappointed when they realize that those promises were lies. Be warned that most likely you will be hired as a temp and not enjoy the benefits of full-time employees. When Jakks took over the company a few years ago, many employees were fired; a good number were either brought back or replaced as temps...with no plans of making those positions permanent again. So don't believe promises of being brought on full-time. It used to be a fun place to work; but the morale dropped substantially after Jakks took over and sucked all the good will and fun out of it. No fringe benefits...not even money for bagels or birthday lunches... Pay is low; there is no mobility; there is not a lot of room to grow.

Pros

Fun licenses and interesting products

Cons

The designer have to juggle too many roles and job duties. The company keep adding more and more licenses, tiers ,and retailers. Too much work to handle for the number of designers on board. There is also a bullying and segregating culture among the designers. Drama within the company need to be fixed or else it can be toxic and hurt one's mental health. Very stressful and high pace environment. The turnaround rate is high now, a lot of layoffs.
