Pros

Sports industry is interesting with a passionate consumer base. Fanatics somehow finds a way to even ruin this positive.

Cons

Management has ulterior motives, lack of honesty and integrity. They will work you into the ground, fire you on a whim and hire someone else that takes less of a salary or just doesn't know any better. Zero concern for culture or their employees.

Pros

Dress code, Employee discount, and SPORTS themed. There are some dynamic, down to earth, and professional people that work there. Location was NOT bad either commute was decent.

Cons

There is SIMPLY NO TRUST there @ all. They simply DO NOT appreciate their employees in IT. Being that this is an eCommerce company its a 24/7 venture; you will spend even your days off working and NOT enjoying the Work/Home balance. Egomaniacs, narcissistic, and just plain OLD JERKS are some of the folks in IT. NOT everyone is/was bad just the ones who simply made coming to work a struggle and my craft NOT fun anymore. To anyone looking for work @ Fanatics... research and ask about the turnover rate which is HIGH and its simple that they run this ship like close minded individuals and they don't value the input and voice of the employee. The culprits of this behavior and lack of professionalism are the SEASONED employees who have been there a LONG time; they are CANCERS that have Metastasized and if Upper Management wakes up and CLEANS house then the mentality will change and it can become a great environment to work. Heed this WARNING and BEWARE... Fanatics is NOT who they say they ARE. NO ADVANCE is there EITHER!!!! I left the company on MY OWN TERMS and have NOT looked back!

Pros

Just about the only positive about working here is the 30% discount and maybe the relaxed dress code. And I have a short commute.

Cons

There is no trust here. Management does not seek the opinion of lower level workers. Putting in extra hours is required, but going above and beyond - thinking for yourself to improve your own performance and make a difference for the company - is either shrugged off or outright discouraged. There is no opportunity to grow professionally, so the longer one stays with Fanatics, the harder it becomes to procure employment elsewhere. All I've done for four years is what I'm told. This is the only company I've ever worked for that sees value in that.
