Pros

At Fanatics Collectibles, some top-level management are knowledgeable, roll their sleeves to produce meaningful work, and demonstrate real leadership.

Cons

- There are serious concerns about the effectiveness and competence of the CFO and some high-level leaders, raising questions about their continued roles within the organization. - The equity refresh plan has not met expectations. Candidates were promised during the hiring process of an annual equity refresh, but this has not been implemented as promised. - There are issues with HR's communication and transparency. The Chief People Officer is rarely heard from, and plans are often executed without clear explanations. HR seems to adopt strategies from larger corporations without considering their suitability for our company. - The company tends to hire a significant number of former consultants, which seems to come at the expense of bringing in talent focused on producing tangible deliverables. These consultants often prioritize organizing large meetings and creating presentations instead of producing actual deliverables.

Pros

Talented employees and have access to working with great sports teams

Cons

Don’t let this company fool you, they really are a start up. Frequent last-minute priorities and urgent app discrepancies often required employees to pause ongoing work to address immediate issues. While resolving these issues was important, the constant shift in priorities made it challenging to maintain project timelines and manage workload effectively. The volume of ad hoc requests and changing deadlines created an environment where it was difficult to stay ahead of responsibilities.
