Pros

- It's called the Worldwide Leader in Sports for a reason. The network other sports networks consider the standard. - The resources at your disposal are considerably superior to its competition. Can gain lots of experience right away. - It is impossible not to meet and bond with people with interests similar to your own. Many employees relocated and have the same passion for sports.

Cons

In my opinion: - ESPN is an empire, but its stranglehold is loosening. Layoffs in 2013, 2015, 2017. - Since it's a large corporation, there are a lot of politics. The employees with the highest written evaluation marks don't necessarily get promoted. - Upper management sends mixed messages about what they expect from employees. What one boss preaches may contradict what another boss would like to see.

Pros

Get paid to watch sports in some positions. Pay is good.

Cons

Hours are brutal. Groupthink mentality at times. Decisions made with little to no input from people in the know or operators.
