      Pros

      Great environment if you love sports. Some really fun people to work with. Free meals from time to time.

      Cons

      Dismissive attitude from corporate types and higher-ups. Constant stress about getting laid off due to reduction in staff.

      Cutting highlights for SC, cutting video/sound/montages for SC, working as a part of the show staff

      Production assistant
      Recommend
      CEO approval
      Business Outlook

      Pros

      Great people Dress code is casual (you can wear jeans to work everyday) Hit the ground running: you play a role in the creation of each show, you don't get coffee. Ex: it's common to be creating the highlights you see on SC within 6 months of being at the company. Overtime pay: you get time and a half OT pay and get paid extra when you work holidays You're encouraged to watch sports at work.

      Cons

      Hours: you will likely work weekends and very strange hours. (Highlight shifts are usually 4pm-2am, though you regularly work later than that). 9-5 jobs Monday-Friday is a unicorn position. Very little flexibility for time off: you have to plan your vacations really far in advance, at least 2 months. No holidays off: sports happen on holidays. It's near impossible to get them off. Overtime: you will rarely work a 40 hour week or an 8 hour day. And by rarely, I mean almost never. High stress: it's TV, which means everything is in a very tight schedule, the expectations are very high, and mistakes are not taken lightly.
