Cons
Where to start? This is honestly the most frustrating job I have ever had; this is comparing it even to retail and food service as a teen/young adult. Upper management is an absolute nightmare. They lack organization and hardly know what is going on in their own departments. They shirk off responsibilities and let the rest of the staff pick up after their messes. More than once I had to do their job/assignments because they simply "didn't want to do it" or because "it wasn't their thing." What they are even doing, nobody knows. They certainly aren't doing their jobs. The CEO is widely hated throughout the company and is known as being "creative, but not quite business savvy." Then why is he leading a business? They promise open opportunities for growth during the application process and then have the department directors pull the new hires aside to tell them that there will "never be any opportunities available that [they] are looking for" and that they should "just stick to [their] current paths." And we haven't even touched how they handled COVID-19. Upper management was absolutely against working from home up until it was mandated by our state that they should consider the possibility. Why? Not because it wasn't doable. Because they just didn't like it, because of their feelings. They admitted time and time again that they didn't "trust" their employees to get their work done and that the "traditional office" was just the right way of doing things. Reader, it is 2020. Work from home programs are rolling out all across the country, but especially in our Seattle-Everett area. If you can't trust your employees to do their work, why did you hire them? And on top of that, it is not like you wouldn't know they weren't doing their work because it is pretty obvious when someone DOESN'T have their work done??? Absolutely ridiculous. To emphasize this, they sent emails to every employee shortly after the WFH mandate threatening their jobs if "productivity fell." We are in a pandemic, people are sick and dying, and they were threatening our jobs knowing this because they can't "trust" their employees. And then not even a month later, they laid most of the company off anyway, which I don't necessarily blame them for during these hard times, but it made the events leading up to it inexcusable. They were so worried about their employees being lazy, that they weren't able to give them proper notice (we were told one day before our furlough) and help their employees prepare. Not only that, but their lack of organization led to hurried paperwork and a large number of our unemployment benefits to be rejected. So now we can't even pay our bills. Funko doesn't care a bit about it's employees and I would never recommend for anyone to work here. The entire system is rotten. Please know your worth and apply to a company that will treat you with respect and avoid this one at all costs.
