Pros

From a benefits perspective we receive generous time off (company shutdown for the December holiday break) and half day Fridays. Also you can't beat working on toys for a living!

Cons

Management's words dictate one direction but their actions show another. The culture is also changing on the East Aurora campus from one of mutual support to one where individuals will be petty in order to be noticed and therefore promoted.

Pros

Good benefits if you get hired.

Cons

They mostly hire temp employees so they don’t have to pay benefits, but you aren’t temp. You are full time.
