Pros

This place can be your rock bottom. You'll never work anywhere worse. Aside from that, there are some smart, capable people lower down trying to keep things afloat when they're not applying for other jobs.

Cons

Munchkin is an oddly appropriate name for a company where the leadership feels this small (not to mention petty, vain, and vindictive). Speaking up does not feel safe. Too many decisions are driven by loyalty, ego, and politics instead of judgment or expertise. Priorities keep changing, experienced people get ignored, and teams are left cleaning up preventable messes. At times, the atmosphere around brand leadership feels more like a mad queen’s court than a functional workplace. HR is NOT a resource for employees. Morale is is in the basement, trust is low, and the lack of adult leadership is hard to miss.

Pros

The working team are great to work with, collaborative, creative and hardworking. They support each other and help make Munchkin bearable to work for.

Cons

Munchkin has got to be one of the worst place to work for. Ironically they are certified as "Great Place to Work" for many years. Words that best describe that place include dictatorship, fear-mongering and high ego. From an outsider perspective, Munchkin looks great on resume, with all the awards they've won throughout the years but it was a nightmare to be on the inside. Decision made are not necessarily best for the business, but best for the ego of Brand Design department lead. Fear lingers in the office, especially for teams that have to work with, or are part of Brand Design Department. With the CBO's needs to have control over everything, it means most team work in fear. The C Level does whatever Brand Design wants (she is untouchable) and Human Resource can't stand up for employees and can't keep things confidential. Munchkin expects loyalty out of employee, but anyone can get fired at any moment. Employees stay silent because speaking up or doing the right thing for the business often makes them a target. Current staff fear termination, while former employees fear legal threats. High turnover and workforce reductions have significantly increased the workload for remaining staff. Coupled with a toxic work environment, this has created an unsustainable situation that continues to drive employees away. For many of us who have left the company, we are glad that Munchkin is behind us.
