The Sad Real Truth about Hasbro

Pros

We're still in business despite several years of mistakes and missteps. There are really good talented people, though they are often abused with excessive workloads. Most sensible managers allow flexible schedules and work from home.

Cons

First- the overall score/rating on Glassdoor is really much lower. For several years, HR staff had their employees or interns write fake positive reviews to boost the overall rating. These will be obvious (quick one-line comments with five stars). Notice how they never respond to anything? And the photos you see are all people who have quit or been let go or activities that haven't happened in 10 years (like the photo of runners). With each layoff where they let go of talented, productive, knowledgeable employees, everyone is left to fend for themselves. At this point it's look out for yourself. If you're not part of the right group, don't look head-shot attractive, don't worship the right people, etc. you have no chance of moving ahead. Hasbro keeps internally promoting the very people who never knew what they were doing and were making the decisions that ruined the company. People who get promoted do so by stepping on others. Overall it's a highly political and toxic work environment where the people trying to prove their worth the most are the ones that know or do the least. Positions will be created for the golden children while the people keeping the day to day running will be told there's no budget for raises or promotions. Big egos, toxic management and arrogance reign and ruined a formerly great place that is destroying itself from the inside.

Pros

- Flexibility on schedule if you need to work around kids - So many employees are an absolute joy to work with

Cons

- Leadership is incredibly toxic and fosters an environment of fear while saying they are "empowering you to make decisions." - Gender discrimination. I was told by my manager that we needed to hire a male and not a female for the role when we were interviewing candidates. Not the first time it happened on my team either. - Not a place you can speak out and disagree without fear of repercussions. - Most managers I experienced were micro-managers, responding in my place and circumventing me on my own projects. - Business is built on leadership's opinions rather than insights and data which is why some businesses are failing right now. - Almost every night of the week there are late night calls with overseas partners resulting in massive burnout. Managers say the prioritize employee health and well-being but the push for 24/7 work says otherwise. I worked almost every night until 2-3am because I was told that we needed to move fast and work harder because we are losing market share. - Note: CEO approval rating is not for Rich Stoddardt as he been out of the temp role for a while now. The approval rating is a reflection of Chris C.

Pros

Half day Fridays, great vacation time, & maternity leave

Cons

I’ve worked here for 4 years now, and I am very surprised & disappointed at how much the company has changed, for the worst. I used to absolutely love my job here. Now, it feels like I’m just a chess piece on a game board that can be moved around at any point, no matter what my career path or opinion is. Unless you’re in Marketing or very high up in the company, don’t expect to get promoted. It seems that the company only invests in their higher ups and marketing team members. However, they move the marketing team members around the company constantly (chess pieces), thus leaving nearly every team with clueless marketing members because they are all completely new to the brand they’re working on, and not being trained properly. The systems that Hasbro uses are incredibly outdated and not intuitive in any way. They also don’t have any budget for the intuitive ideas that the teams come up with. Any great idea that is created has to be minimized down to nearly nothing with hardly any marketing budget to advertise the products properly. 4 years ago, we had time to get to know each other as employees, have team bonding activities, etc. Now, everyone throughout the entire company is so worked up and stressed constantly because we are told to be more intuitive, do things 30 times faster, and yet they took away 500 of our employees back in October that were incredibly valuable to product development and time management. The amount of restructuring that Hasbro is doing is simply pushing people out because so many just don’t enjoy working here anymore.
