Pros

Building is cool. Fun to go to the store on lunch and shop with friends. Good discount on product. Has the potential to be so much more.

Cons

Company as a whole does not value employees. It does not have a true mission, purpose or values beyond achieving a sales goal. The end result is ever shifting priorities, reorgs, layoffs and staff turnover.

Pros

You get to say you work on well-known toys and collectibles found on shelves everywhere. The creative department was relatively tight-knit with understanding middle managers. Funko was a great first studio job.

Cons

The "Funko Fast" philosophy means almost constant crunch with very little work-life balance. Managers were overworked. Advancement was nearly impossible with "budgetary" restrictions making promotions feel like almost arbitrary. Designers used to have more ownership of their product but an increased focus on profits over quality means less oversight. Leadership used to allow the creative department flexibility in working remote, but those leaders are gone and corporate announced a mandatory hybrid schedule with less than a month's notice with no choice on what days employees work.
