Pros

Basically none this place is a joke in terms of how employees are treated. There are some brilliantly creative people who work there.

Cons

If you want to imagine what it would be like working for the Donald Trump of the Toy Industry then look no further. The CEO just got a Twitter and LinkedIn so if you want to see what a lovely person he is check out all the crap talk he does on social media instead of running his company like a competent leader, sounds familiar doesn’t it? All the fake “positive” reviews on here crack me up, they have no substance. Working there was an absolute nightmare, the office is shabby, disgusting and ugly, it’s also located in the middle of nowhere with nothing to do. There are almost no good amenities there that other places of employment offer UNLESS YOU WANT FREE BAGELS. The HR department is disorganized and dealing with the CEO’s tyraids or behavior are morally draining. He thinks he’s a genius but he’s just some jerk with a chip on his shoulder who takes credit for everything and treats people like garbage. God forbid he goes and asks one of his inexperienced kids to get involved. The CEO has no vision so he just throws things against a wall until something sticks. He has no idea why something isn’t or is successful and acts like a bitter child on social media. He has also been known to harass people who quit. Just avoid this company there are better places to work even if you are desperate. I would rather be homeless without a job then to ever come back and work at this shady establishment. There are so many creative companies, with far less drama, in LA so you won’t really miss much if you decide not to work here. -No raises or bonuses -Healthcare is decent -location is abysmal -Bagels on fridays how novel! -Work life balance isn’t there -Not a lot of paid holidays -Have to deal with the CEO constantly -No vision for the company’s future -low morale -pay isn’t great -No clear career mobility -You will be doing 5 people’s jobs because they are under staffed

Pros

Iconic, category-defining brands. Working on Bratz, L.O.L. Surprise, Little Tikes, Rainbow High, and Miniverse means your work shows up on shelves worldwide and in pop culture, not in a slide deck nobody reads. Founder-led, entrepreneurial culture. Decisions get made fast. You can pitch an idea Monday and be executing on it by Wednesday. Very little of the corporate molasses you see at public CPG or media companies. Real ownership and scope. Even mid-level roles get broad mandates. Senior roles touch IP, partnerships, content, DTC, manufacturing, and operations in the same week. If you want to learn how a vertically integrated toy and entertainment business actually works, there's no better seat. Privately held means long-term thinking. No quarterly earnings call dictating moves. The company can invest in slower-burn bets like new IP, content extensions, and AI infrastructure that a public competitor would kill in budget cycles. Genuine investment in AI and modern tooling. Leadership is actively adopting AI agents, automation, and forward-deployed engineering partners. Not lip service. Real budget and real pilots. Heavyweight IP and licensing relationships. You get exposure to deals with the biggest studios, streamers, and retailers in the world. Amazon, MGM, Walmart, Target, Netflix. Rooms most people don't get into until much later in their careers. Strong benefits package. Medical, dental, vision, and 401K offerings are competitive for the industry. Mission that's easy to care about. It's toys. You're making products that kids love. That's a clearer "why" than most jobs offer.

Cons

None that I can think of.

Pros

Some free toys if you're lucky.

Cons

The worst bi-polar CEO there is, who rules like a tyrant and is full of hypocrisy about originality when all he does is copy his competitors! C-Level Suite is dysfunctional at best, with no management or leadership skills to save their lives. It's all about who you know there and not what you produce. If you're looking for a meritocracy, it sure ain't here.
