Good Company to Work for but has room for improvement

Pros

Melissa and Doug is a great place to work. It is face paced and challenging, The people and culture are great. Everyone is very warm, open and welcoming. It still has the small company feel despite growing quite rapidly. The building is gorgeous and the product are top notch. Quality is still a core value. The company discount is also great!

Cons

I'd describe it as a 30 year old start up. While it is a great place to work there are still a lot of improvements to be made with systems, processes and procedures. This could be considered a positive if you want to help build from the ground up. For me, the biggest con is the lack of time off. Their vacation time, # of holidays and lack of 1/2 day Fridays is not competitive with other toy companies. They also don't offer a bonus or 401 k matching.

Pros

They provide a consistent paycheck

Cons

They do not promote from within. They treat employees like slaves. The hours are horrendous. Most of the people are there only because it's a job with health insurance and they don't have time to look or interview for another with the work schedule.
