Pros

The work is fun and generally focuses around costumes, toys, comics, superheroes and themed parties. I thoroughly enjoyed the job duties assigned to me and my role/job functions within the company. Many of the skills learned at BuyFun.com are beneficial to your portfolio, however, they treat you like an intern and pay you even less.

Cons

Morale is low, turn around rate is SUPER high. The owners care more about themselves than they do their employees. The raises/promotions are infrequent and insignificant. If you try to negotiate a higher rate of pay, it more than likely won't happen. If you do decide to quit, they could care less and will just replace you with another MNSU student, probably for even cheaper. This is not a company for serious marketing professionals, this is a position to get you by while you finish school and figure out what you want to do with your life. Do not expect to make a fair market rate for your skills, education or experience. The best you can do is treat it like an internship and move on as quickly as possible.

Pros

Literally absolutely nothing at all.

Cons

1. Rat infested offices, in all locations. 2. Extremely underpaid. Like EXTREME. 3. No bonuses and barely any raises. 4. Selfish CEO who only cares about his virgin island vacation home that he rents out for $8000 a night. 5. Single stall bathroom for an entire office. Bathroom is also located INSIDE the one and only conference room, AND the bathroom vents into the open desk space. 6. Management shows up out of no where and switches all employees to hourly pay instead of salary because the pay is SO LOW that by law, employees must be hourly at that rate. 7. Extreme unprofessionalism. You can find more professional kids at a daycare than at FUN.com. 8. Bipolar management. 9. Will have to work in office through construction: including gluing down carpets, removing the one and only bathroom door to paint it, chainsaws going through the walls behind you, etc. 10. Will have to beg for a new office chair when your 20 year old chair falls apart weekly. 11. Cuts 401K and HSA employer contributions because the company has been on a huge downward spiral after spending 3 MILLION on a THIRD domain name. 12. Management acts like this is the most relevant, well known company to ever exist, when in reality who has ever heard of FUN.com? If it was possible to rate FUN.com NEGATIVE 1000000000000000 stars, I would.
