Pros

Paid hourly for this specific employment model - so made a lot of money with overtime Can say you work for ESPN Lots of travel! (with this specific job) Lots of cool people to work with from all different backgrounds Fun opportunities The work is exciting - you're part of ESPN! Laid back in some situations Had some great managers who were also wonderful people People build strong teams and stick to them

Cons

Not everyone is awesome - some people really miserable people Can't always move up - it's more about who you know or who you are friends with BIG egos Some departments are generally stuck up Didn't get any benefits Finally, people can be really possessive over their job's field and have really sensitive toes - so be very careful to not step on them

Pros

You get to work on cool events and shows.

Cons

But the pay will be low and you work long hours. Takes a long time to get promoted even after good work. Regardless, the structure is better when you get OT, verses not. If you won't, some other person will
