Pros

The job is challenging and never dull. The people I work with are great. There are on site amenities for all your needs.

Cons

Not much career growth or guidance. If your looking for advancement then this may not be the best choice. They seem to only advance non critical employees (middle management, PMO staff etc).

Pros

You work for the leading sports media company in the world with tons of resources. You can learn a lot if you apply yourself.

Cons

Once in middle management, the politics is stifling. If you like being a robot, you'll do great.

Pros

This is a large company with a lot of resources. If you are lucky enough to end up with a good manager, you have a good attitude, communicate and work hard, you will move up. You get paid decently and can have the opportunity to make OT if working on certain sport. Unless you are REALLY bad at your job, you will get raises and Christmas bonuses every year. I was lucky to have great managers and I worked really hard......then when I worked with another company I could clearly appreciate the high standard levels.

Cons

There are opportunities to move up to a certain extent. There is a bottle neck in the production department once you get to the Associate Producer Level. Work/Life balance can suck depending on your job....but remember what the benefits of working and thriving at a company like this can do for your career.
