Disaster of a Finance Department

Pros

None that I can think of

Cons

Many issues in the Accounting and Finance Department. They have been there for years! Suspicion is that one should not expect it to change anytime soon. The board appears to be clueless as to the turn over rate and the root cause. Expect a completely condescending response from management at all times. The management is based on a model of fear. Sadly this fear is literally from the top down. Do not ask questions it will be assumed you do not know your job and are a bother to the management team. Long hours are just the beginning, don't expect a raise or acknowledgement of your part in any of the success of the department or the company.

Proceed with Caution. Not all Fun at Funko

Pros

There is a great deal of opportunity there if you can rise above the fray. High growth aspirations, highly profitable. Opportunities to create and build.

Cons

Most executive leadership is extremely underqualified for their positions. Everyone is afraid of the CEO. Lots of love given to anyone in creative department as that runs the company. Back office functions have to scrap for what is leftover. HR is a significant challenge to deal with and is a revolving door.

Pros

-Dedicated, crazy smart colleagues who go above & beyond who share common interests in pop culture -Interesting, fun product -Lots of potential. Business is booming, famous product and licenses, millions of fans worldwide

Cons

-Almost every person I work with is experiencing burnout -Zero transparency from executive leadership and no clear strategy -Extremely siloed organization -Toxic environment - Cliquey VP's often fight with each other and make decisions based on whether or not they like the requestor, not whether or not the request or plan is best for business, with zero accountability -Virtually zero diversity. Only two women and no POC on executive team and only a handful (less than 5) of visible minorities in senior management. Regular microaggressions from both management and employees -HR, training and employee development are an afterthought. They just started doing employee reviews in 2021. Clearly zero sexual harassment or racial sensitivity training -No commitment to WFH or remote work due to concerns about culture and productivity despite employees producing the best year in company history WHILE WORKING FROM HOME!!! -Not a lot of career advancement opportunities. Many empty promises -No perks outside of employee discount
