Pros

The San Jose Sharks have some of the best people I've ever worked with. About half of the staff has been there for 5+ years and has a lot of prior experience that can help you succeed.

Cons

The ticket sales staff has a lot of turnover, so if you work in a department that works directly with them, you face common problems over and over.

Pros

- Exciting atmosphere - Great opportunity to connect with the community

Cons

- Extremely weak leadership - Heavy focus on "the numbers" that completely dismisses the human and moral aspect of business (i.e. It's reported that the EVP has taken programming and events from the Sharks Foundation and turned them into for-profit initiatives to boost numbers) - "Burn and churn" mentality - Extremely low salaries that makes it difficult for employees to live where they work - No coaching, learning or development opportunities - Company values are not recognized or reinforced - Despite it being a small office, employees rarely know each other outside of their immediate departments
