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

This is a fun place to work due to the atmosphere, the scooters and the manequins dressed in costumes. The employees are awesome, all of them are nice and caring. they have a fun committee that puts on games for all of the employees!

Cons

Everyone is paid like dirt and there are ZERO benefits. When someone quits, do they care? no, they just pull another student from MSU (the local college) to fill the empty position. Moral is low, turn around rate is SUPER high.The owners care more about themselves than they do their employees. They take NUMEROUS vacations per year, often clock in and do not work. They promote family and friends to positions they don't deserve.

Pros

Great culture, Friendly staff, Flexible schedule

Cons

Very low pay across the board Minimum of 45 hours if you are a salaried employee, not including lunch breaks Raises are often promised, but rarely delivered on time Expected overtime. Passive-aggressive comments from management if you only put the minimum amount of hours in for the week. In order to thrive here, you have to be willing to put in regular overtime even though "its not a requirement" Word of advice if you take a job here - DON'T let them talk you into being a salaried position. It's not worth it.
