Pros

Working in sports. Discount. Laid-back, but hard-working office environment

Cons

Of course, the pay isn't the greatest and the nights and weekend hours are long - but that is expected in the sports-related business and does not bother me at all. The only real con of this place is the room for advancement. Without a doubt, being promoted is definitely performance-based in certain departments but not in Marketing. It's a joke. Does not matter how good of a job you do or how bad of an employee you are, if you've been working in marketing for a few years, you'll be "promoted" just with everyone else who started at the same time as you. And this isn't a secret at all. Every employee in the department knows this. You're screwing over the employees who actually go above and beyond. Why should I work hard if I'm not being rewarded for it? You're telling me the guy who watches movies on netflix all day long is getting promoted at the same time as me? This is the same guy who constantly comes in late and takes 2 hours lunch breaks. He does the bare minimum, but still gets a promotion. Great job taking care of the people who really care about growing the business!

Pros

Company has a great open door policy and less bureaucratic than a traditional company. Interesting industry and opportunities. Company is

Cons

Communication is not clear between departments and a lot of two steps forward 1 step back. Day to day work involves quick fixing problems vs. long term solutions. Compensation is on the lower side. Those who make monumental mistakes are not held accountable.

Pros

Working in the sports and sports memorabilia industry. Working with great people in middle management, working with athletes, and most of all, working with a great and very loyal customer base that Fanatics Inc. has.

Cons

Company has no clue what they are doing when it comes to customer service, sales, and trade shows and it shows with the work people do here as well. People do not even understand what they are supposed to even be doing in their positions. Upper management is rude, career derailing, and unappreciative of the hard work you will put into your job at any time. A work/life balance you want, this place is absolutely not build for it. They will put you on a very low salary then have you work 60 or 70 hour work weeks with no weekends or a day after you travel off. You really end up making like nine bucks an hour and it is really unprofessional how they set their pay structure up at this company. It is a very delicate situation with this company as they have taken over a few business's that I feel the company is very unsure of what they truly want to do with them.
