      great for more senior people but tough to climb the ladder for junior

      Pros

      get to work in the sports world. if you are a sports fan, you won't find a cooler company to work with.

      Cons

      limited upward mobility...no clear guidance on promotional guidelines most junior people agree that the company is amazing once you can get to the top. getting to the top though is a difficult thing to do. it seems like a black box in terms of who moves up and who doesn't. may be better to join the company at a senior level and try climbing the ladder someplace else first

      Pros

      A great nuruting environment that encourages innovation and individual freedoms. The company is truly concerned about the well being of its employees. The company works very hard to ensure that the integrity of the work environment. The compnay gives your the opportunity to learn and do a lot.

      Cons

      Too much of a locker room mentality/ old boys network, which interferes with and compromises the goals of the company and president. The "pay for performance" program is not properly administered. Some groups are paid for mediocre performance and other groups are not rewarded for outstanding performance. You are also asked to do a lot with limited resources.

      ESPN not what it's cut out to be! A great place to have on your resume because it opens doors for you elsewhere.

      Pros

      Name recognition as a way to further your career at another similar employer. Prospective employers see espn on your resume and it opens doors at other jobs for you.

      Cons

      Very crappy pay and no recognition of accomlishments unless you kiss the right ass. It's all about who you shmooze and who you make happy. Make the right person happy and you advance, make the wrong person unhappy and start looking for a new job. Very bad way for management to run a company.
