Pros
Fanatics is great in theory. They talk a really good game about diversity and inclusion. The benefits are great. The company is doing really well and growing fast. The work is interesting and challenging.
Cons
Pay “merit increases” once per year are not keeping up with the rising cost of living. The hours are not sustainable. 60-70 hour work weeks. Inability to retain talent. The culture actually sucks. You will be expected to answer requests immediately, be it 6am or 7pm. You will be scheduled for at least 5 hours of meetings per day, with half hour blocks here and there to try to do actual work during. You will be expected to add on to your regular 60 hour week an extra 3-5 hours to mentor and develop your team. Additionally you need to spend time on your own growth to stay in a “growth mindset”. If you are a parent you will never see your kids. Leadership talks about family being what matters, but there is no work life balance. Lastly, once you are in, there isn’t much opportunity for promotion from within.
