Pros

Spin Master has great entry level opportunities for the motivated, hard working individuals. Work hard, Play hard. Well, that used to be true but now Spin Master is having some difficulties and has had several waves of lay-offs.

Cons

Management is very much a boys club and you will find women to be very scarce at the op. Pay is low. Perks are disappearing as company is in trouble. Work life balance is very bad, unless you are in sales: partners tend to change their minds on product at the last minute and leaves the team scrambling to meet deadlines.

Pros

My coworkers were the heart of the company. Excellent PTO and benefits.

Cons

Rely heavily on inventors and freelancers. No room to actually innovate and design. Management level was promoted based on office politics and not experience/success. Very cliquey in times where you question if someone was speaking behind your back, turns out they were.
