Pros

Funko is the kind of place you go when you thrive in a fast paced environment and love working hard. It kills me when i see reviews about how there is no "career advancement"- that is 100% false. Since I have been here I have seen many incredibly hard working folks across all the different groups not only promoted but also pushed to promote those under them. What I HAVE noticed is that there are more then a few folks who expect to be promoted because thats what they think should happen since they have worked "so hard" for a year. That's not how the world works folks. The entire exec team is the hardest working group of people I have ever met and because of that expect excellence from everyone at the company. If all you want to do is complain about how much you have to do and how all your friends are higher titled than you, this is not the place for you. If you are willing to learn from those around you and push yourself then you will not only succeed but thrive.

Cons

Rapid growth means larger then expected growing pains but that's too be expected

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.
