Pros

ESPN is a fun, fast paced, challenging environment. Tends to be very rewarding, and has a good positive energy among the teams.

Cons

Can do attitude often gets in the way of time your supposed to be outside the office. While folks say they care about work life balance, that doesn't always show through.

Exposure is great, lots of people see my work. Interesting work topics. Everyone responds when you say you are interested in speaking with them for a story that will be on ESPN.com or ESPN the Magazine.

Cons

Serious changes have reduced work opportunities for freelance writers.
