Pros

Working for ESPN is a once in a lifetime opportunity. You get a chance to work on popular sports content with some of the best in the business. The campus in Connecticut is gorgeous and a perfect place to live if you have a family and want to settle down. The job looks great on a resume and provide a variety of networking opportunities.

Cons

It's incredibly hard to get a promotion despite long days at work. The work days are very untraditional and sometimes you may work 12 hours a day without overtime if you are a full-time employee in some departments. If you're settled in your career and don't want to move up then this is the perfect place. If not, it's more like college if you are under 30 and looking to get a resume booster and lots of experience in the sports industry.
