Pros

Working with IPs that span generations. The Pawtucket office is incredible. Work Life Balance is phenomenal. 1/2 day Friday’s year round. Vacation time is best in class.

Cons

Pay is abysmal compared to other companies in New England. Upward growth opportunities/raises do not exist. With the company struggling for the last few years any opportunities for raises or promotions are scarce. Upper management cares only about stock holders. Decisions are driven by what the CEO is “feeling” and not by actual data from the market. CEO only cares about lining his pocket. He laid off large amounts of workers twice in one year all while taking home a massive bonus to his salary (public information as it is a publicly traded company), while regular associates were told that there were no bonuses or raises due to company performance. The CEO since joining Hasbro has been a parasite to the business and his decisions are tanking the company. Layoffs happen almost annually, you will have a constant fear that you’re on a chopping block.

Pros

The compensation and benefits package appeared competitive compared to similar roles in the industry. The team members I met during the interview process were generally personable, professional, and knowledgeable about their work. The company also presents itself as collaborative and employee-focused during recruitment.

Cons

The hiring and onboarding process lacked organization, consistency, and internal alignment. Communication between Talent Acquisition, hiring management, and leadership appeared disconnected, resulting in conflicting information regarding fundamental terms of employment. After progressing through multiple interview rounds and receiving both verbal and written offers, critical details surrounding the position’s reporting expectations and work location changed unexpectedly immediately prior to the anticipated start date. The situation was handled poorly, with inconsistent messaging from different parties and limited accountability for the confusion. Attempts to professionally discuss potential solutions and compromises were met with resistance and ultimately resulted in the offer being rescinded. The overall experience reflected a lack of coordination between departments and created significant concern regarding internal communication, leadership alignment, and employee onboarding practices. For a large, established company, the process felt surprisingly unstructured and reactive.
