Pros

The team you get to work with and grow with is the best part of the job. If you’re into the product, the employee discount is solid I suppose.

Cons

Near zero chance for career growth with this company, within the retail store itself or moving up to corporate. The company has been subject to frequent layoffs and “restructuring”. The retail store has had three different general managers (so far). There are associates that have been part time for years, yet working full time hours, receiving no benefits. The retail store doesn’t utilize its workers properly. Good, solid workers have jumped ship completely due to burnout, being stepped on, management refusing to correct toxic workplace behavior, and selective coaching. You’re promised the opportunity to grow, but denied the development to make that a reality.

Pros

The people are why I've stayed here. If there weren't so many great folks here, I would have already left. Some cool mid management leaders. Has potential to be a cool culture, but only if they don't make it feel forced. New CEO Josh Simon brings promise to turn the company in the right direction. If Funko is going to thrive going forward, Josh is the person that can do it. I have more hope for the company now than I have in the last 4 years.

Cons

Some of the upper Leadership needs a rehaul. Some remaining toxicity that hinders the culture. Not great social engagement planning - they try, but it usually feels fake and forced, not natural. Lots of layoffs in the last few years - I've gone through 4 without being impacted. Work/life balance can be really difficult, but if you mention the concern you're pinned as someone that just can't keep up, which isn't accurate for everyone. Managers should actually consider if there needs to be rebalancing, especially since staff are expected to sometimes double or triple workloads after each layoff, with no title or compensation increase.
