We've determined a team approach is the best strategy for staying both proactive and reactive to consumers' changing needs in the highly complex, competitive marketplace in which our company operates. Our team structure creates an atmosphere that's ripe for sharing ideas, making decisions, assuming responsibility and earning recognition for efforts, talents and dedication. It also gives our employees daily opportunities to meet challenges, and that's part of what makes this such a fun place to work…but the best part is knowing that you've worked each day to put a smile on a child's face!

It takes a diverse range of functions to help us make the hundreds of new products we introduce each year. And we need trained, imaginative minds more than ever as we expand an already significant presence in global markets, add new technologies and product categories to our line.

More details:
• We have approximately 1,000 employees between our two locations, East Aurora, NY, and New York City.
• We have approximately a 5% turn over rate.

Some of the special benefits that come with working at Fisher-Price are based on traditions going back to the earliest days of our company. For example, Herman Fisher, one of our company founders, handed out the first holiday turkeys and we've been distributing them with a smile every Thanksgiving since! But today's Fisher-Pricers have their own unique needs, of course, so we offer a range of extras for them and their families (current benefits are subject to modification):

The Fitness Place — It's state-of-the-art equipped to keep our employees healthy and in shape. We can sign up for one of the daily group exercise classes (from Spinning to no-sweat lunchtime workouts to de-stressing with Yoga and a massage) or special adventure trips around the region (hike the Niagara River Gorge, go white water rafting in the ruggedly beautiful Zoar Valley, or spend a wintry afternoon cross country skiing at Griffis Sculpture Park).

East Aurora Community Nursery — A nationally accredited on-site child care facility offers the convenience of bringing your child to work with you, and the peace-of-mind that comes from knowing you're right nearby. Extended day care is available for infants, toddlers, and preschool children.

Fisher-Price Toy Store — Our employees stop by to see what's new,
pick up a special gift, and enjoy discounts on Fisher-Price and Mattel
products.


The Little People Leave — When a Fisher-Pricer celebrates the birth or adoption of a child, the company joins in with a basket of toys for the new arrival and paid time-off for the new mom or dad. This is one important way we demonstrate commitment to our employees and belief in the importance of a supportive environment for every child, right from the start.

Toy Test Program & PlayLab — Children of Fisher-Price employees can be among the first "critics" to test our toys, or participate in preschool programs in our on-site PlayLab.


Friday Half-days — Fisher-Price closes at 1:00 p.m. on Friday, all year long.

Casual dress — Every day is business casual day at Fisher-Price.

Mattel Federal Credit Union — Offering federally insured accounts and investments, affordable loans, debit cards and more.

Fun! — Each year, our Employee Activities Committee plans an ambitious schedule of parties and events…considering what we do for a living, it's important to remember what it's like to play!

Other "extras" — An excellent cafeteria as well as on-site post office and dry cleaning pick-up make the business of daily living a little easier.



"Working at Fisher-Price is very idyllic…we have a great creative atmosphere, nice, nice people, and beautiful surroundings."
Randy
Creative Development

"I came to Fisher-Price because of its excellent reputation, and the excitement associated with making children's products. I have stayed 21 years because of our commitment to children's safety and the professional and dedicated teams that develop product with pride. As the mother of three, I have also enjoyed working in a truly family friendly company."
Kitty
Product Safety

"As a designer at Fisher-Price for over 20 years, I've been fortunate to work in a wide variety of product areas. It's been interesting to me that, by coincidence, the toy categories in which I've worked have always corresponded with the ages and genders of one of my own five children. From preschool electronics to infant care products to boys toys to the "Little People" line to role play kitchens and, most recently, dollhouse toys, I've always had an eager consumer at home in mind as I've designed products for millions of children."
Pat
Product Design

"Fisher-Price offers everything a marketing professional desires — a high energy, fast-paced environment, a leadership position in a team environment, an excellent balance between product development and product marketing, and the resources to make it all happen. It is impossible not to feel good about what you are doing every day — both on a professional and a personal level."
