Pros

Learned a great deal about taking educated risks in the sports media world. Continue to build relationships with employees and vendor partners every day.

Cons

Culture is no longer a word that resonates at ESPN. Division/Dept. leadership is long in the tooth and investing in employees to grow from within has been abandoned long ago.

Pros

They don't call it the world wide leader in sports for nothing. They offer a lot of growth within the company and really care about their employees. I couldn't imagine working anywhere else.

Cons

They will do whatever they need to do to save money, even if that means making more part time positions just so their employees don't get benefits when they could easily allow for more full time.

Pros

Work in sports. Owned by Disney which means Disney "cast member" benefits.

Cons

Career advancement opportunities limited unless you move to Bristol, CT. Not enough focus on Digital Media sales which is the only thing growing.
