Starting to get better

Pros

Since I've started here, there has been a lot of toxicity and favoritism within specific departments which has been enabled by several people on the leadership team. With the new CEO coming on board last spring, I'm noticing the right changes are being made which makes me really hopeful for the company's future. Some of the best colleagues I've ever worked with really make me love my job, and I'm looking forward to seeing what else changes for the better here under new leadership.

Cons

Tariffs make the collectible industry a bit uncertain right now. Pay will usually not be as high as you can get elsewhere - but it's really not horrible.

Pros

Great Co-workers. Fun Work environment . Fun product you are selling, nerding out with your clients. Great PTO system and management doesn't complain when you request time off.

Cons

Goals don't makes sense year over year. Not based on per customer, but overall book of business, so if one of your top guys closes, you are screwed. Just like any public company, everything is about wall street at the end of the day.

Corporate Equivalent of a Midlife Crisis

Pros

You’ll definitely get some character-building experience here, especially in navigating chaos without any real direction and become an expert in crisis management. Despite all the chaos, layoffs, and managerial nonsense, I met a few of the most talented, dedicated, and down-to-earth individuals who truly cared about the work. It’s a shame they’re stuck in the same mess, but you’ll leave with a few good friendships and the bittersweet realization that the people here were the real MVPs… even if the company didn’t deserve them.

Cons

Imagine a boardroom full of people who think “fandom” is something you catch if you don’t wash your hands. Apply at your own risk—but maybe start updating your résumé before your first day. Funko hires aggressively, lays off even faster, then pretends to be shocked when morale is lower than their stock price. Not to mention at the helm of this Funhouse of Horrors is a CEO who treats insider trading like a side quest in a video game. a cash grab disguised as a collectibles company. If they could turn stock buybacks into a Funko Pop, it would be a convention exclusive. Employees aren’t assets here—they’re disposable expenses that get slashed whenever the stock needs a quick boost. One day, you’re told you’re essential to the company’s future; the next, you’re being escorted out the door because someone upstairs decided they needed to “pivot” again. If you want to work at a place where leadership actually understands their audience, values stability, and has a long-term strategy—look elsewhere. If on the other hand you enjoy empty jargon and watching a once-beloved brand fumble its way through the toy industry like a lost toddler with a briefcase— then Funko’s got a cubicle with your name on it. (for now)
