Pros

Paid hourly for this specific employment model - so made a lot of money with overtime Can say you work for ESPN Lots of travel! (with this specific job) Lots of cool people to work with from all different backgrounds Fun opportunities The work is exciting - you're part of ESPN! Laid back in some situations Had some great managers who were also wonderful people People build strong teams and stick to them

Cons

Not everyone is awesome - some people really miserable people Can't always move up - it's more about who you know or who you are friends with BIG egos Some departments are generally stuck up Didn't get any benefits Finally, people can be really possessive over their job's field and have really sensitive toes - so be very careful to not step on them

Pros

Great people, fun product and decent benefits, especially Disney perks

Cons

Culture is changing and lack of vision/communication from leadership right now. Challenging time as ratings are declining on SportsCenter. Lots of good people have left.
