Pros

They have lots of bathrooms.

Cons

At Munchkin, we're on a mission to be the most cut-throat baby lifestyle brand in the world. We have turnover higher than your local McDonalds but that doesn’t stop us from scouring the internet for the best and brightest only to crush their spirits with abysmally low PTO accrual, inflexible work policies, and so much more. Is your child home sick from school? Too bad, mom. There’s no working from home on in-office days. Why? Because… rules! You’ll need to take a sick day to care for that little munchkin. Need to come into the office on a WFH day? Great! That will earn you… nothing. Need to take a doctor’s appointment? You better have enough sick time accrued because you’ll need to use it for every appointment. At Munchkin, we make millions of pounds of cheap plastic products but greenwash all of that with marketing about saving animals and roaming elephants. Hey, we package some of those cheap plastic products in cardboard now so we can wax poetic about our sustainability efforts. Go us!

How is this place still in business?

Pros

None at all. Literally. Not one.

Cons

Terrible area, clueless staff, terrible people in charge. The art directors and creative directors and vp's here are the most entitled women I've ever met in my life. Absolutely no real skills between any of them except for the fact that they think everything they touch is gold (it's not). The people here need an eye opener into the real world as to how things are actually done, as none of them would last at any real agency or company. Actually, does anyone last here? This place is literally hiring the same position every other week. Incompetent staff mixed with incompetent management makes for a very incompetent company.

Thank you for your feedback. Change can be difficult especially when a company is focused on getting the right people into the right jobs to build shareholder value. We are a responsible, global company in which everyone is treated and acts like a #1 including our customers. We celebrate PROGRESS not perfection. We wish you success in your new endeavors.

Pros

Nice office but that's all for show. Do not let this fool you.

Cons

I have been a working professional in management for 15+ years and this place is horrifying...everything they sell you on during the interview process is meticulously fabricated and only for general optics. I would not even wish this place upon my worst enemy. If you love yourself at all, even if it's just 1.0% of self-love, DO NOT WORK HERE. As desperate as you are for a job, DO NOT WORK HERE. Even if you cannot pay your bills, DO NOT WORK HERE.
