Pros

Many caring people in distribution and in the stores. Great power units, lots of opportunity to perform to the best of your ability and be rewarded for your performance.

Cons

Lots of communication problems from every direction. Trailers so outdated if they were inspected on the road many would be out of service. So the solution is to completely do away with the transportation department and outsource to another company and even though Toys folks were given the chance at a job with the new company they were drastically downsized in pay and benefits. All were told make a choice in 7 days or take your severance! Most had 3+ years all the way to 20+ years and were valued assets even as they were told the news.

Pros

Best job ever, I was able to play with toys all the time. I usually stayed late to open boxes, and play, then I put them back in boxes like nothing happened and then go home, my wife always thought I was cheating because I was late, sometimes 3AM, but I just can't stop playing with toys, it was awesome.

Cons

My wife didn't like my job. She hated when I was late.
