Pros

This is a great starter job but not a place you should make a career at if you ever want to grow and develop. The people you work with are great, personable and dedicated. The benefits are okay. Not the greatest but also not the worst. They put on a lot of fun company activities. Small company where everyone knows everyone. (this could be a con depending on who you are)

Cons

An employee's experience will be dependent on the department they work in. Programmers/Software Developers have it made at Fun.com. They get paid competitively, have flexible schedules and are shielded from the inept sisters of the CEO. All other departments have to handle being pulled in several different directions without a structure or way to prioritize. There is no leadership training. The people they have in leadership roles have not gone through any kind of development. They are robots to the CEO and keep a very narrow scope of where their employees can grow. They do not know how to develop future leaders and avoid difficult conversations until things come to a head. HR at Fun.com is a joke. They are all dating current Fun.com employees and are basically there to hire seasonal people and do paperwork. They advocate for the "leaders" of the company and not the employees. This is a family owned company and the family members all hold Executive Roles even though most have no idea how to run a business. They are penny pinchers and do not understand that their idea of "Saving money" is actually costing the company money and resources. If you are going to travel for the position you are applying for it is important to know that you will be sharing a room with a peer. They are too cheap to spring for individual rooms. This means you run the risk of sharing a room with your manager or one of the sisters. As a salaried employee, you will be expected to work a substantial amount of hours during October. If you refuse or are unable, expect a discussion with your manager and potential disciplinary action. They terminate people for the vague reason of "you're just not happy here. This isn't the right fit for you" with no documentation on correcting whatever behavior is making them think that you are unhappy. They have big dreams but do not want to invest the time or money to get to where they want to be. They look at short term ROI instead of long term. Fun.com is mentally young. People gossip about each other and the managers and directors partake in this gossip. It can create a hostile environment if you are on the wrong end of it. Consistency in management is non-existent. You may be asked to work on your soft skills but when you approach your manager about someone else's course behavior you are told "that's just the way they are. That's their personality".

Pros

Literally absolutely nothing at all.

Cons

1. Rat infested offices, in all locations. 2. Extremely underpaid. Like EXTREME. 3. No bonuses and barely any raises. 4. Selfish CEO who only cares about his virgin island vacation home that he rents out for $8000 a night. 5. Single stall bathroom for an entire office. Bathroom is also located INSIDE the one and only conference room, AND the bathroom vents into the open desk space. 6. Management shows up out of no where and switches all employees to hourly pay instead of salary because the pay is SO LOW that by law, employees must be hourly at that rate. 7. Extreme unprofessionalism. You can find more professional kids at a daycare than at FUN.com. 8. Bipolar management. 9. Will have to work in office through construction: including gluing down carpets, removing the one and only bathroom door to paint it, chainsaws going through the walls behind you, etc. 10. Will have to beg for a new office chair when your 20 year old chair falls apart weekly. 11. Cuts 401K and HSA employer contributions because the company has been on a huge downward spiral after spending 3 MILLION on a THIRD domain name. 12. Management acts like this is the most relevant, well known company to ever exist, when in reality who has ever heard of FUN.com? If it was possible to rate FUN.com NEGATIVE 1000000000000000 stars, I would.
