Pros

Good salary, working on child toys is a positive

Cons

Terrible place to work!!! Awful work environment. They treat people like they are slaves. The owners, Melissa and Doug actually spy on their employees! It is a very fearful environment in which people are afraid to step out of line. Melissa and Doug have created the WORST culture that I have ever seen. They bully their employees. The office is a cramped, stale facility. They have old office tools and an 1980's office mentality.

Pros

Since joining the company, I’ve seen continuous growth and meaningful change for the better. M&D fosters one of the most welcoming and friendly work environments I’ve experienced. It’s a place you can truly be proud to work, not just because of their commitment to delivering quality products, but also because of the genuine care they show for their people.

Cons

The company is in a phase of transformation and integration which comes with its pain points.

Salary only without stress of commissions.

Cons

Limited opportunities for growth. Leadership hiring is always from the outside.
