Pros

ESPN is a stable, well-run, major American media organization whose senior management values the well-being of every employee. ESPN is a huge source of revenue for the Walt Disney Company because it receives two streams of revenue: one coming from regional cable and satellite network partners, and another from selling advertising space across several networks, magazines, and web sites.
