Fanatics reviews

Growing too fast. Management is constantly changing, and changes (like mass layoffs) are implemented rapidly and without warning. No room for upward mobility in the company. Bonuses are few and far between. It's a very unstable place to work, always wondering if your job is going to change or be eliminated.

A few things from my experience in the last year. • Four managers in the last five years have held this position. • The position they recruited and hired me for does not exist. My job description was changed after two months of employment. • Members of the management team, including directors, warned me about other members of the leadership team; to “watch my back” or certain people would ruin my career if I wasn’t careful. • I’ve been pulled aside privately several times and told not to share my ideas in front of senior leadership or contribute the conversation. Later, I was criticized for not speaking up in meetings. • A few directors have spent a lot of time with senior leadership trying to devalue me and damage my reputation. I’ve learned to document everything and follow up in written form for proof. • One of my direct reports was coded incorrectly in the pay system and did not receive their merit increase. It took senior leadership and HR 2 months to fix it. • The culture is like a reality TV show. Drama is highly encouraged or created by upper leadership positions. It’s common to receive feedback from senior leadership about team members that is inaccurate, exaggerated or just not true. I noticed a lot of negative reviews mentioning a toxic work environment and I couldn’t agree more. "Watch your back" is the best advice I've received. For career driven, intelligent professionals, I would suggest looking elsewhere. Coming to Fanatics is my biggest regret and a career setback.
