      Pros

      Excellent company perks & benefits

      Cons

      Poor Management: Several Managers working for this company 20+ years were immediately placed into their roles with no college degrees and /or management skills , resulting in poor management behavior. They must stop hiring/promoting someone referred by a friend or the 'Yes Ma'am's' known as the old Boy's Club mentality. Upper Management needs to wake up to better understanding what's really going on in their organization. Work/Life Balance - Tough work schedules/shift hours Low Pay - Salary not competitive with the current job market

      Incredible Benefits, Passionate Employees

      Pros

      As part of the Disney company, ESPN has incredible benefits, and for a sports fan there is no better place in America. Everyday you will work with passionate and talented people at the top of their game. While culture certainly varies department by department, I experienced an overall genuine interest from all leadership in the success of the employees.

      Cons

      It is a 24-hour business and that often means work/life balance can take a hit.

      Pros

      Bristol is a beautiful campus. My commute was a joke. 12 minutes with no traffic. If you are dedicated to doing great storytelling, there is opportunity to work on very high quality projects.

      Cons

      ESPN's growth has outpaced many employees ability to contribute in an effective manner. ESPN would never relieve itself of these employees. This created a culture of entrenchment. Not the best.
