      Pros

      You work with the best in the business and if you get on a good show/shift you will learn a lot.

      Cons

      Takes forever to move up, computers are scarce, long hours for production, not great pay for the time you put in. Run by people who have no idea about the production dept.

      Pros

      Fun environment, everyone has complete freedom to share ideas and contribute beyond his/her everyday roles, some of those ideas get used on shows like SportsCenter. It's a great culture. There's big opportunity for growth and advancement. ESPN is a great company to work for. They care about employees and implement ideas suggested to improve work life. If you follow the program, do what's asked of you while also going beyond what's asked of you and find ways to make an impact whether it be on the bottom line, new technology or equipment that can benefit what we do, it can lead to greater success and opportunities. ESPN is owned by Disney which controls the benefits. There are some good perks including free access to Disney Parks, discounts on hotels, shows and other events or activities not just associated with Disney. Headquarters has a gym that is free to use. It's a big place but a good place especially once you find your niche. Perform your job well and it will benefit you and get others including those in managerial/executive positions- to like you and think highly of you which can go a long way.

      Cons

      It can sometimes take a while to get promoted, salary, raises and bonuses aren't the highest, it can be corporate and you must abide by/follow the corporate hierarchy. It can be demanding and expectations are extremely high. Sometimes it's a grind but most find it rewarding and worth it. Cost-cutting decisions sometimes get made. It's a big place and while everyone is open and friendly, it's a tough place to be new and takes time to fit in and get the hang of things. They have their way of operating and stick to it for the most part. Most employees work really hard.
