Pros

Terrific Co-Workers, Product and Customers

Cons

Don't be fooled and/or trapped into filing an application for "this family, friendly company". There are over 30+ jobs available at this time. They DO NOT care about their employees. They will work you like a dog and treat you with the utmost disrespect. If you see positive/glowing reviews anywhere, they were obviously written by Kristine of HR. Stay away from Melissa & Doug for your own self worth and peace of mind.
