Hasbro reviews

I was one of the thousands of employees let go during the holiday layoffs of 2023. Truly, that's all you need to know - this company was willing (or forced) to cut 20% of its staff just before the holidays and preserve millions in bonuses for C-level execs. Whether it was due to unfathomable corporate cruelty, the dire state of their business, or both, it doesn't really matter. The point is that this is the type of company Hasbro is these days, and you should run screaming unless you're desperate or a glutton for punishment. Hasbro currently suffers from a lack of innovation throughout its toy line, mirrored in its dismal sales results. Their only answer is stringent cost-cutting, meaning even less money for toy development, marketing, personnel, etc. Hasbro may not be able to spend their way out of this situation, but cost-cutting isn't going to save them either. No one is happy, and most people are doing three different jobs. I've never encountered worse morale or more doom and gloom in my career. The soul of Hasbro is gone, crushed by ineffective leadership that cares more about managing the stock price than actually delivering quality products to kids and collectors.

You cannot move up in this company - they advertise jobs, but already know who they are hiring. They also hire based on upper management family and friends first. Even internships are hired based on who you know. With covid coming to its 'end' they are requiring all employees who are vaxxed to come back to work hybrid. They gave no choice to work remotely - even if you have successfully been working remotely the last two years as the whole company was. Management is forcing employees in so that they have heads available, as upper management is coming down on them to get bodies into the buildings. Some teams are allowing remote when wanted. Others will not. it's not uniform. Some employees even asked to forego their yearly raise just to work from home. After working for two plus years remotely - no one wants to go back to being caged and have to answer to someone to use the restroom, when to go to lunch or break, where are you if you are 10 minutes late due to traffic. No one wants to commute in the Winter months. No one has money for gas to commute - yet no cost of living raise. No stipends for those forced to work hybrid and show their faces. The company seems to wait until it's a huge issue before communicating what everyone is whispering about company wide. The left hand doesn't seem to know what the right hand is doing. If you report to your direct manager you need to work remote and they approve but do not tell the next in line and then your head isn't in your cube, they contact you directly asking where you are. People cannot go from working on their own successfully to going back to answering for every move they make. They have successfully worked from home and managed their families and home lives and Hasbro has no regard for that. It's miserable right now and employees are jumping ship left and right. Read the room, Hasbro.
