Immense Potential, Poor Execution

Pros

-Dedicated, crazy smart colleagues who go above & beyond who share common interests in pop culture -Interesting, fun product -Lots of potential. Business is booming, famous product and licenses, millions of fans worldwide

Cons

-Almost every person I work with is experiencing burnout -Zero transparency from executive leadership and no clear strategy -Extremely siloed organization -Toxic environment - Cliquey VP's often fight with each other and make decisions based on whether or not they like the requestor, not whether or not the request or plan is best for business, with zero accountability -Virtually zero diversity. Only two women and no POC on executive team and only a handful (less than 5) of visible minorities in senior management. Regular microaggressions from both management and employees -HR, training and employee development are an afterthought. They just started doing employee reviews in 2021. Clearly zero sexual harassment or racial sensitivity training -No commitment to WFH or remote work due to concerns about culture and productivity despite employees producing the best year in company history WHILE WORKING FROM HOME!!! -Not a lot of career advancement opportunities. Many empty promises -No perks outside of employee discount

Pros

My coworkers were the main thing to look forward to while working there. Once in a while they would toss out free stuff and we were supposed to feel like we just got a bonus. The toys are cool to look at but while unloading boxes from a truck and seeing footprints on a couple of them, it reminded me that toys aren’t cool when a company uses shoeless children from an impoverished country to make them. Oh yeah and they’d have a taco truck come for lunch once a month. That’s a great excuse to pay the warehouse workers “backbone of the company” crap.

Cons

Horrible pay and expect you to work whenever they want, with no care for your life outside the company (not much care for you inside the company unless you were one of the chosen few). Awful management that treat the warehouse like pawns. The CEO is the worst, always walking around like he was a god for us peasants to worship. During a Christmas party at Lucky Strike in Bellevue I saw him throwing money to a group of girls encouraging them to take more and more shots. Eventually one of them had to be carried out. Disgusting, no respect for his employees excuse of a man.
