      Low pay in an expensive & crummy place to live

      Pros

      ESPN as an employer is fine. No major complaints or praise. But pay is very low for the industry and the location. Bristol is a dead and ugly little town and just not a great place to live. But it's even hard to afford living here with how low ESPN pays. It's as if they're paying you in clout so you can say you work here. ESPN is a pretty good place to work for a couple years, put it on your resume, and get the heck out. Quality of life around here is low.

      Cons

      Pay is lousy for the location.

      Pros

      There are some really great people who work here! The health insurance benefits are great. There are some really fun perks from both ESPN and from Disney. Good amount of roles get over time. The Disney name and ESPN look great on a resume. There are certainly areas of the company that you can move through that won't have the same issues as others.

      Cons

      Disney family companies consistently pay under market value, so most positions are under paid for the work you do. You get into the Disney Parks for free, but that doesn't go far when you live in Connecticut. The culture is you're expected to work a minimum of 2-3 levels above your current role, but it's unlikely you'll get promoted. You're just supposed to grin and take it no matter how overwhelmed you are or unsustainable it is. The expectation is that you will live in Connecticut for most roles, there seems to be no plan to make remote work a future option though it would be wildly popular and retain talent.
