Pros

The people are amazing. Everyone works incredibly hard and is truly nice and helpful when asked… if they have time. The product you get to work with is so fun and diverse. The fan base is so passionate and loyal - they immediately make you feel like you make a difference for them by adding a small slice of joy (or pain) to their day. Benefits - Their commitment to giving off the week between Christmas and New Years was great and desperately needed for sanity each year.

Cons

Funko Fast - Be prepared to sprint from the moment you start Day 1. Minimal to no documentation for training and you just have to learn things they hard way… by asking X person who is the only one who knows X process. Leadership is extremely out of touch but there is clearly a large shift happening of ushering out old and bringing in new. There is little to no leadership training for people managers and it really shows. Morale is openly low, often, and surveys openly communicate the issue but it appears to be ignored. Little to no planning or roadmapping to help organize the chaos despite people trying to internally. It’s almost as if they want to keep it chaotic just because it’s “Funko”. You may be working on 5 priorities at once and get 2 on fire issues where you have to drop everything at once. The GIF PIVOT from Friends was used often as well as the term “trauma bonding” if that helps gauge the level of chaos daily/weekly.

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.
