Pros

The breakroom is nice, and they serve food on special occasions/holidays.

Cons

They use your seasonal status against you constantly. Management and team leads treat seasonal workers as if they’re disposable, often pushing them around, speaking to them disrespectfully, and even humiliating them publicly. The management is disorganized and unprofessional, and many team leads lack basic communication skills. Instead of offering guidance or support, they resort to degrading and belittling employees. You’ll be expected to do physically demanding labor with no benefits, and you're expected to stay silent—if you speak up, you’ll likely be targeted, humiliated, or manipulated. Meanwhile, certain leads spend more time walking around and gossiping with friends than working. They’ll chat for half an hour after doing five minutes of actual work, all while criticizing others for not doing enough. The culture is toxic, the leadership is weak, and if you're seasonal, you're treated like you're less than human. There's no respect, no appreciation—only favoritism and constant power trips.

Pros

Part of Fanatics Betting and Gaming -Work/Life Balance: managers really stress keeping good work/life balance. When I told mine that I had to work a couple extra hours to finish something before a sprint they told me to take another couple hours off during the next week or so. Also, half-day Fridays in the summer! -Remote work. -Smart, driven developers. -Good benefits package.

Cons

-A bit of a start-up nature causes some odd, sporadic development blockers. Not a big enough deal, but can be an annoyance.

Pros

This is specifically for Fanatics Betting and Gaming (FBG), as I can't speak on the other lines of business. - autonomous work with the freedom to really put your stamp on projects - minimal red tape, allowing you to execute and move swiftly - full remote culture, with the expectation to respect employee calendars - stability- the company is careful not to overhire and retain its employees - the people- despite being remote, I feel close to my team and work around people who really believe in the mission and products we provide

Cons

- Remote work is not for everyone. If you aren't letting management know what you are working on, it can sometimes slip through the cracks. - Full autonomy is a double edge sword. It's fantastic for those who feel like their work is often hindered by unnecessary red tape, but it can be a struggle for those who work better with a set structure and routine. - Technology has been improving and the commitment to leveraging AI tools is encouraging, but there is still a bit of manual work still that can lead to human error. - benefits and pay are fair here, but you have to dig a bit to fully utilize all the benefits we have.
