Pros

Good people. Good company perks (Disney is parent company)

Cons

-Beholden to Disney Policies and Stock Price -Extremely poor executive management (Boys club mentality). Doesn't matter what you know, but who you know. -Job security is lacking. Multiple massive layoffs every year. Also, always talk of the next layoff. -Declining industry. Although ESPN led the industry for years, they were late in jumping on the streaming bandwagon. Losing cable subscribers each month. -Toxic "every man for himself" culture in some departments. This has trickled down from the top. -Contractors are treated extremely poorly here. -There's always a scandal. They can't stay out of the news.
