Infantino Reviews

Ever since David Chan purchased Infantino from Step 2 in 2014, the company has gone through an exciting transformation. Step 2 was not investing in the company and everyone was very frustrated and concerned about the future. David Chan is fun loving, very passionate about his company and treats everyone like family. He also trusts and empowers the leadership team here in San Diego to manage and grow the business. It's an exciting place to work, especially if you are into product development, because we create 100s of new products every year. Plus you are developing all kinds of toys and baby gear stuff that is very rewarding when you see it on the shelf in Target or Walmart.

I started working for Infantino in 2006 when it was a small company with a little over 20 employees and the owners treated their employees as family. About 2 1/2 years later, the business was sold to Step 2 , the largest toy manufacturer in the U.S. , and the work environment quickly changed to one in which a profit for the parent company was more important than treating the employees fairly. During this period most of the people in my Dept stayed to keep supporting and growing the Infantino Brand even though moral was down in the company overall. In 2014 Step 2 sold Infantino to Blue Box Holdings and the environment quickly turned back to one of Support for the Infantino staff . Blue Box Holdings treats us like family, expects hard work and innovation from the Infantino staff, and in return they started offering benefits we hadn't seen for years, like the yearly bonus, wage increases, competitive salaries and COLA increases. I can't speak to the total benefit package because I got married in 2013, but I haven't heard anything negative from co-workers on the Medical and Dental plan. In addition to better benefits, Blue Box has put programs into place to increase cooperation between the Departments, starting with the Leadership team. And our Product Development Dept has its finger on the pulse of the market place and the types of products and styles people will want to purchase in 2020 and 2021.
