Pros

There are very few pros that come to mind. The free garage parking is nice, and there is small selection of snacks in office for purchase.

Cons

Where to begin.. this has got to be the most disappointing company I have ever worked for in my life. Leadership is severely lacking in almost every way possible. They are inexperienced, unsupportive, and beyond selfish. Turnover is high in all departments on every single level. Be prepared to be overworked for very, very, very little pay. Management provides little to no direction and expects you to figure it out. If you succeed, they will take the credit, and if you fail you will be reprimanded. The execs in many departments are like Mean Girls, except most of them are men. They make decisions based on who is asking or who it involves, instead of what's best for the business. Countless people left Funko during a global pandemic, many of them not having a new job lined up. These were people who were not furloughed or laid off.. This speaks volumes. Leadership has created such a toxic work environment that it is unbearable even while working remotely, so much that employees risked their livelihood to escape it. The President of the companies response to this was 'they're replaceable'. Such a shame.. So much for Fun in Funko. The numbers you see reported are not an accurate representation of the companies financial position. There is no career path or direction for upward growth in mind for their employees. The only time people get 'promoted' is in reaction to more turnover. And even then, a promotion just means more work for a few dollars more a year. This is no longer a growing and promising company. Turn around and find a company who will value you the work you do and encourage career growth.

Pros

The team you get to work with and grow with is the best part of the job. If you’re into the product, the employee discount is solid I suppose.

Cons

Near zero chance for career growth with this company, within the retail store itself or moving up to corporate. The company has been subject to frequent layoffs and “restructuring”. The retail store has had three different general managers (so far). There are associates that have been part time for years, yet working full time hours, receiving no benefits. The retail store doesn’t utilize its workers properly. Good, solid workers have jumped ship completely due to burnout, being stepped on, management refusing to correct toxic workplace behavior, and selective coaching. You’re promised the opportunity to grow, but denied the development to make that a reality.
