Pros

Product and licenses. You might get free product - before it makes it to the dump.

Cons

If you are a horrible person, you seem to thrive here. Those with integrity and morals get overlooked, undervalued and underpaid. Everyone runs around as if things are on fire, because no one has any idea what is going on. Everyone is constantly stressed and sighing. Growing pains is not a valid excuse. I made several processes that worked great, really turned around the department. No one is held accountable. If you are “a nice guy” and liked by the CEO your lack of skill set seems to be overlooked. The CEO hires some of the worst people, they present themselves as this expert to save the day. They lack any real connection to the brand or fan base. Years of growth over and over. The people at the bottom make that happen. Not these “experts” with expensive paychecks they seem to hire. Everything is shady, HR is one of the worst departments. Things are done behind people’s backs. They will look the other way if they are told to do so. The great days are behind them. Most of the talented, hard working people are gone. The vibe left is a mean girl/boy club full of insecure “leaders”, whom will continue to tell you how great they are - at a previous job. No one cares about your collabs, this entire company is a collab. Making money off others IP. Gatekeeping is so common here, everyone wants a win, few team players who actually care. Your experience will greatly depend on your manager, if you’re lucky enough to get one of the few (I mean few) who actually have management skills. They do no training or investing in employees. Reviews are awful or nonexistent. You have a leg up or against you if you are a white male.

Pros

Was a great place to work. Had a great team. Had okay pay and benefits.

Cons

No upward momentum. Overworked. Management couldn't do anything to help due to higher-ups. Higher-ups have no idea how to run a company. They destroyed the soul of Funko by making a lot of greed based decisions.

Pros

The people in FUNKO are some of the best people I have worked with... My experiences with the Production Team are some of my fondest. Because of the huge workloads and the unrealistic demands from management, the team learned to support one another.

Cons

Unfortunately, while FUNKO has some of the best people on their respective teams, FUNKO as a corporation does not invest in its people. Workloads were incredibly heavy against insane timelines...often at the expense of the mental health of the employees. Moreover, compensation for the amount of work being done is far below the national standard. More so if you're female. There was a HUGE difference in what the female employees were being paid versus male employees. Additionally, the politics in the working environment were some of the worst that I have encountered. Employees were often overlooked for promotions regardless of accomplishment or abilities. If an employee vocalized an opinion that did not align with upper management (regardless of how constructive that opinion was conveyed, that employee would find him/herself a target for upper management.
