Pros

Work is fun. The job is enjoyable, and the people are generally pleasant.

Cons

Hours are horrible (crack of dawn or middle of night). Exceedingly corporate. Do not value people. Salaries aren't very competitive.

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.
