      Pros

      If you love sports, ESPN is the place to be. The Worldwide Leader in Sports provides a fast-paced, high energy environment where strict deadlines must be met, but the process is enjoyable and exciting.

      Cons

      The hours can be tough to adjust to at first. Considering that most sporting events happen at night and on the weekends, many of us work well into the night. For someone young like me, this is no problem, but I can envision a time in life when working until 2am will not have the same appeal that it has now.

      Pros

      The pride and relentless pursuit of inovation and excellence. They put the viewers and employees needs into every action they take. I've worked at small market stations and espn is by far the industy standard. This place is televison haven if you want to work on bleeding edge equipment and have you work seen by millions of people each day. I look forward to comming to work each day, I especially like the fact that I'm in a possiton where I can make a decision, I have the ear of senior managment and my thoughts and concerns are heard. I cant wait to see whats on the horizon for espn.

      Cons

      You have to work hard to raise above you collegues. But if youre a brown noser but you suck at your job you will still get ahead. One more downside is that we are a 24/7 365 operation that means no holidays off, no weekends. Its tough for people that want a social life. If you want to get ahead you really have to sacrifice a lot. There is so much to learn you cant do that by working your normal 10 or 8 hour day. I wish my dept gave you schedules earlier. The director staff get there schedule a month in advance.

      Pros

      ESPN boasts many smart people and decent work/life balance. ESPN also has quality leadership and a can-do spirit.

      Cons

      ESPN could do better when it comes to providing more competitive compensation packages. That would be my main criticism.
