Pros

Travel and cater to some of the most exciting sports venues in the world. Get to be a part of amazing world stage events.

Cons

Work ungodly hours. I'm talking 100+ a week. Never really got the time back. Ever. Also a general disregard for the overall wellbeing of their employees.

Pros

Decent pay and some free food is about all I can think of.

Cons

You are subject to being harassed, bullied, sexually assaulted, and retaliated against by upper management and when you speak out, it is your fault. Employees are badly mistreated. Students are taken advantage of and so are university organizations. If you want to be a part of a company that steals from the campuses they manage, this is the right place for you. If not, run as fast as you can!
