Pros
The on-air talent (I was not one for the record) could not have been more professional, nicer, and genuinely wanted to help sales, engineering, promotions, all share the success of the programming side of the business. You would never know that these people are big deal people by the way they treat their coworkers. Also the opportunities to attend some of the most exciting events and games really is a rare thing to have access to, very very cool.
Cons
I think ESPN has a suffering middle class. Think about the NBA when you think of ESPN. Only a handful of teams -maybe 3 or 4 - in the league have a chance at winning. ESPN is very similar. Only a few people really have a chance to "win it all" because the level of favoritism is something I have never seen before or even heard of before. For example, lets say Person A needs an apple to exceed their quota for the quarter. Just one apple. Person B has 50 apples more than their quota, and becasue they had been there for 10x longer than person A, they actually started the quarter only needing 4 apples to begin with. Anyway, someone drops off an apple on the last day of the quarter to the manager. 10 times out of 10 the manager will give it to the person who has 50 apples instead of the person who needed just 1 apple to hit their goals.
