Pros

None that are worth it

Cons

This is the most toxic, immature, abusive, hostile culture I have ever experienced. I don't want to say more because they're getting reviews deleted and using the details to retaliate against the people who wrote them.

Pros

Whenever people ask me what I like about working at Fanatics during interviews and such, I have a ready answer: the company cares about its people. For a short period I was unhappy with my role and the team I was on. I voiced that, and they found me something that was a better fit, rather than saying "tough beans, do it or find something else." Also, we have lots of employees in Florida. During the recent hurricanes, the message to those employees was "take care of yourself and your family, and take care of work when those are done." I've never had another job where I really felt like my bosses have my best interest in mind. I feel like in general in the modern day you can't. I do here. They're looking for opportunities to help me grow and advance in my career. From a tech perspective, it's an exciting time to be here as it feels like a startup, but we're not worried about where our next round of funding is coming from. The work culture is very much "get your work done." The expectation is 40 hrs/wk, and I've literally had a manager say "you should take more time off." There's a real understanding here that people do their best work when they're not burnt out. Finally, we have several layers of management, but it feels very flat. The CTO will book 1-1s with you if you need/want it. The culture, at least in the tech department, is great in that way.

Cons

On the flip side of that positive note, it sometimes feels like a startup combined with a bureaucracy. There are lots of tools we have to use because a higher up says so but those teams are agile and the tools are not fully developed, etc.

Pros

There's a huge snack vending wall, and food trucks come everyday. There is free coffee and the best part.. free bagel Friday.

Cons

There is 0 training for anything, people are very clique-ish. The culture is "work hard play hard" but that's seems to mean work 9 hour days and don't take a lunch or move from your desk ever. There is tons of work and it all seems last minute because no one actually works on a schedule. No room for growth unless you want to take another job and get relocated, but then I took this job and now I'm getting relocated. Oh... and the server you need to get everything off of dies at least once every 20 minutes, if not more.
