What is the best part of working at the company?
I truly love my job because I feel empowered to make a real difference and I'm surrounded by incredible colleagues who share that same passion.

What is the most stressful part about working at the company?
Comparing to my experience at larger companies, I find the same project stresses exist; tight deadlines and a need to work smarter not harder.

What is the work environment and culture like at the company?
It's a collaborative,  positive and supportive work environment where everyone feels valued and motivated. 

What is a typical day like for you at the company?
Meet with team, address urgent demands, follow through with all work in progress projects, and keep colleagues informed.

On a typical day at work, the guys would unload pallets off of the trucks while I counted how many there were on each truck. Most trucks had an average of 46 pallets. The guys had to take the pallets and put them in one area together so that I was able to count them. I learned that I had responsibilities and that my responsibility was to make sure that my counting was right so that it would be accurate to the other counter. That was my job and I had to do it; precisely. Management was nice and listened to the workers. My co-workers were okay but did get the job done. The hardest part of the job was trying to remember what number I was on and trying to focus on counting. I could not get distracted! The most enjoyable part of the job was having a duty to perform and working together as a team to get the job done!

Jakks is a very strong and stable company, but at the time I was working for them they were not really ready to branch into game development. A lot of issues that I dealt with on the day to day came from uncertainty in management about what to do with digital products and an unwillingness to use resources to improve products. For the two years that I worked there as a programmer I was only provided access to an artist for about a month, and then only for two very specific projects. This was not for a lack of artists on the team, nor a need for art assets. This problem was also not constrained to just me, of all the programming leads I spoke to there it seemed like I had received the MOST artist support.

A typical day at work was making sure that what we needed for our orders was on hand or ready to be packed out by our packing line, getting all order's that was going to be shipped out on pallets was correctly stacked and correctly labeled, and that all floor loads we're correctly loaded on the trucks by the crew that had to  hand load the order's, do inventory counts on all finished and non finished material,   maintain a good work invirement with all other employees, try to just have a good productive day and have fun

Hired for the Holiday season to help in keeping up with huge orders and shipping demands made by major retailers, such as Target, Wal-Mart, and the like. Items would be pulled by the pickers and would send the requested quantities down roller tracks to my location. I would then arrange and shrink-wrap the boxes on pallets in such a way that would allow for two pallets to be placed side by side inside the haulers. When orders were not being pulled I would aid in the loading and unloading of trailers.

They do not care about their employees,  they are only interested in what they can get out of their employees,  the manager is selfish and doesn't even come out to check if anyone needs help with anything, or if the orders are correct coming in,  he stays in his office all day and plays video games or watches movies, always short on the orders that need to ship out because they never check if we have what are needed,  and when you tell someone you need something all they say is we will get it and it never comes and the employees get the blame aqchecking on material,  and when you tell them that you need something t

JAKKS Pacific public toy company that expanded too fast for it's own good.  Poor management decisions led to way too many stressful situations that could have been avoided.

The creative people of JAKKS Pacific however, are some of the most talented people I have ever worked with.

The company's saving grace was the fact that we were making TOYS. So, really, how bad could it be.

I loved my job.  I didn't love the company.

Routine responsibility of assembling display racks for future products to be delivered. I had the opportunity to learn more team oriented skills as each project was designated to a group. My coworkers were dependable and we created a very tight culture of helping one and other. Though there was much detail involved, my experience as a care taker made it easy adapt to the standards of the company. What I enjoyed the most was building relationships and learning a new industry.

Oversees schedules, allocations, weekly ramp-up quantities/capacities, releases and shipping based on set quantities for brand new items for the season; 
and suggest solutions to improve customer delivery. Manages raw materials and finished goods releases and addresses any issues supporting forecasts and meeting production schedule. Responsible for generating purchase orders using the JD Edwards ERP system for inventory items based on forecast and special project requirements.

Personally, I loved working here. It was an amazing experience with an amazing group of people. I was always excited and ready to work because of the team. There was never a day that I dreaded to go to work because I knew it was going to be a good day. I just wish that they would have told me in the beginning that they were only looking for temporary work. It was a disappointment when I found out that I was being laid off, without a notice. Would I work there again? I would love to if given the opportunity.
