Pros

If you love sports, ESPN is the place to be. The Worldwide Leader in Sports provides a fast-paced, high energy environment where strict deadlines must be met, but the process is enjoyable and exciting.

Cons

The hours can be tough to adjust to at first. Considering that most sporting events happen at night and on the weekends, many of us work well into the night. For someone young like me, this is no problem, but I can envision a time in life when working until 2am will not have the same appeal that it has now.

Pros

ESPN is a big company that is well-known, so you can be proud when you say you work there. The job security is very good, as you can't get fired for poor job performance. The benefits package is also excellent, which is no small thing nowadays.

Cons

ESPN knows it's big, and knows everyone who hasn't worked there wants to work there, so they treat their employees like garbage. They don't care about paying competitive rates because they can just get someone else in to do the same job. Moving up is very difficult, as they are reluctant to promote anyone due to the required bump in salary. Also, become promotions are rare, people are reluctant to share information to better the product as a whole, because someone else will get credit for it and steal their desired job.
