Reviews about "low pay"
Return to all Reviews- 3.017 May 2022Product ManagerCurrent Employee, more than 5 yearsNew York, NY
Pros
Flexible work life balance. Excellent colleagues, creative and passionate people. Awesome properties to work with. Ever since Topps was acquired by Fanatics, our benefits are significantly better. In general, the new ownership bodes well for our future. The added infrastructure will probably help Topps grow and improve.
Cons
Low pay for tenured employees. Incredibly resistant to properly compensate current employees, even when hiring new people with the same title at almost double the salary of tenured team members. Fanatics ownership appears to be competitive for new hires, but current and long time employees get screwed. There is a long history and deeply engrained culture disorganization, nepotism, and refusal to give the employees structure and guidance. I believe the Fanatics ownership can help correct this, but the culture is very pervasive and will take a lot of work to improve.

Pay severely late and sent only after hounding. Non-monetary compensations damaged or lost. Low pay rate to begin with.

Pros
Great office, fun events. Cool place to be in.
Cons
Too much work. Burn out. Nonstop tickets 24/7. Lunch break is unpaid so you have to make up the time or else you get in trouble. Phones ringing off the hook non-stop. They're always behind on everything by months. No ticket is ever from the current week. Pay rate is so low. Everyone in CS lives paycheck to paycheck. Couldn't afford to put into my 401k because I'd be broke.

Pros
Topps, on average has a decent work/life balance.
Cons
Much lower pay when compared to a similar position the industry. No clear career path in most job functions. Getting ahead here is less about meritocracy and more about cliques and cringe-worthy displays of self-promotion.
