      Love The Ride; Even If It Is Just From Point A to Point A

      Pros

      Electric atmosphere, At every level, you work shoulder-to-shoulder with the absolute best in the industry. Project opportunities abound. Self-starters thrive. Exceptional talent will definately be noticed. The Bristol campus is a very good place to work; sometimes even fun. The "This Is SportsCenter" commercials really aren't all that far fetched. Talented staff are respected and appreciated by supervisors.

      Cons

      A factory. Sports production has a voracious appetite for content; no letup. It's a great place to work, so middle and top managers are lifers. Thus, limited advancement opportunities, even for solid performers. A 2010-2011 company priority is to "focus on employee development." So, expect to get training to make you smarter; but don't expect that improved performance will lead to promotions in pay or status. Harsh semi-annual and annual reviews: you will be told that "outstanding performance" is the norm at "the Worldwide Leader;" thus exceptional output is rewarded only with middle-of-the-spectrum reviews.
