Great people to work with, fun customers, great product

Tons of pressure for credit card and protection plan sales, toys are way overpriced, terrible toy selection for the customer (Target is FAR better!) and horrible pay.

Pros

Dedicated employees at lower levels. Nice campus with on gym on premises. Spectacular10% employee discount.

Cons

Upper management is always in crisis mode. Executives cannot make decisions in a timely manner or adhere to schedules. Lack of any clear long term plan beyond preparing for IPO. Terrible raises and bonuses. Meaningless goal setting and evaluation processes mandated by HR department waste enormous amounts of time and effort.
