Pros

Good salary, working on child toys is a positive

Cons

Terrible place to work!!! Awful work environment. They treat people like they are slaves. The owners, Melissa and Doug actually spy on their employees! It is a very fearful environment in which people are afraid to step out of line. Melissa and Doug have created the WORST culture that I have ever seen. They bully their employees. The office is a cramped, stale facility. They have old office tools and an 1980's office mentality.
