Spin Master reviews

Manager had no idea how to manage a team and had no idea or concept of merchandising. The 2012 Christmas coupon project had unrealistic deadlines and was very badly managed right from the start. We were treated like robots and expected to be available for work 7 days a week, and to work beyond the 9-5 hours and not get paid for it. I was glad when I was chosen to be part of the mass layoffs in the department because we could no longer be productive with the direction the manager was taking it. Everything was done last minute and always resulted in us missing opportunities because of bad planning. Never any consistency we were always reacting but were always to late costing the company a lot of money in potential sales. Supervisors were forced to buy in to the managers system even though they didn't agree with it. This department really was like a bad STORM with lots of damage done! Cleanup will take a very long time!

My job ended in March 2015 because my direct to store order sales numbers didn’t meet managements target dollar amount, which pays their inflated paychecks. The disastrous management makes you force toys onto stores even in the slow months of January and February. I would have never accepted this job if I had known you had to meet their weekly sales requirements or lose your job. I stocked lots of product on the shelf and set up displays, but that is not good enough. If you do not sell additional product they get rid of you quickly, and call it a “business decision”.
