Company Profile
PlayMonster LLC
Company Overview
If your current job or career isn’t fun and playful, then you should definitely apply to become part of the PlayMonster team! We’re a growing group of playful people who enjoy what we do and do it well. Since our business is toys and games, we can’t help but have fun! We can be serious, too, when we need to be, but always with a smile!
Our laid-back work atmosphere and casual dress code are simple comforts we appreciate daily, and things such as holiday celebrations and cookouts are fun events that get sprinkled in here and there to add more fun! Add in the generous paid time off, holidays, compensated volunteer days, tuition reimbursement, summer hours, 401K matching and more, and PlayMonster is just about irresistible!
We even have “monster” job titles around here. Our CEO is known as the Chief PlayMonster, and other office employees have their own fun title, too! Try and guess who the Money Monster might be!
PlayMonster calls Beloit, Wisconsin home...and we love it here! Some of our neighbors are the top-rated private Beloit College, the minor league baseball team Beloit Snappers, a charming downtown area with a view of the Rock River, and seasonal events such as the farmer’s market and popular festivals. And Beloit is situated between Janesville, Wisconsin and Rockford, Illinois, and not too far for commuting from or visiting, Milwaukee, Madison and Chicago! It's a great place to live and work!
Company History
PlayMonster started life as Patch Products in 1985, founded by brothers Fran and Bryce Patch. Children's puzzles were our specialty, but we quickly grew to add games and toys.
Throughout the years, we acquired other companies and expanded our product line: Smethport Specialty Co., famous for its classic toy Wooly Willy and educational Lauri brand; Onaroo, a line of clocks and night-lights known for the OK to Wake! green light; and Roominate a hands-on electronic building playset designed to inspire girls!
In 2014, the company changed ownership, which gave us greater opportunity to grow! Our continued growth led to the big name change and re-branding of the company in 2016 to better reflect our playful culture and belief in the power of play! At PlayMonster, we're proud of our history and excited about our future!
