Pros

I am a recent hire who is so incredibly excited to work for a company like Funko! "Fun" is in the company's title and, it lives up to that. Any Company that regularly has representation at Comic-Cons is top rated in my book. The culture here isn't just fun, but exciting too. Not only do we work on pop culture stuff as work, but the vibe is electric. Some folks might think a company that makes toys and collectibles would be slow and boring, but it's not! The creative teams here have visions that are executed thoughtfully and quickly. I've found that a huge majority of Funko staff are friendly, helpful and easy to get along with. It makes coming to work something to look forward to. People care and that's very obvious from day 1. The employee slide and the retail store at HQ are pretty dang amazing. I've never worked at a company that had so much cool.

Cons

So far, things are off to a great start! A refreshing move from tech!

Pros

They make cool stuff if you're into toys and pop culture

Cons

Where to begin? First of all, there's no career path if you work here. They'll hire outside for any promotion, and not even tell you they're looking. You have no chance to rise in the organization unless you come from the warehouse, which means they were paying you minimum wage to begin with and still won't have to pay you jack since you're so grateful to get a desk. They underpay the employees under the idea that it's "fun", but you'll get screamed at enough that it's far from it. The environment is super toxic. About 3 executives control the entire company and don't care what anyone else thinks about anything. They bring in their buddies from outside and have no loyalty to current employees - I've watched them do this now in licensing, marketing and even HR! The whole company is just a glorified sales dept and the new president (from sales) isn't going to change that. For a public company, this place is run by amateurs. But you probably can tell that if you saw how the IPO went (worst IPO in 20 years some say). This place is just an absolute mess. If you do decide to work here, don't expect any kind of career path and expect to be shown the door if you have any opinions at all.
