Pros

You get to work with sports content to drive the enjoyment of viewers. It's rewarding work for those who are passionate about sports. You get to make an immediate impact on sports coverage....they really allow for ideas from across the company.

Cons

Work-Life balance can be challenging (need to be willing to work nights and weekends). Company is in a period of transition as it adapts to cord-cutting and new mediums.
