Pros

-One of the best possible landing spots for anyone with a passion for working in sports. -Even non-sports fan employees can enjoy the still-ascending trajectory of the company, great benefits, and good inter- and intra-departmental mobility. -Surrounded by teammates who know what they're doing and make me want to be better. -Still has a lot of the scrappy startup DNA without being trite or cliché. -Tremendous upside for company growth as sports betting is legalized in more states. -Intellectually stimulating environment with a lot of smart people and new, exciting challenges emerging all the time. -New ideas, no matter how small, are always welcomed and considered. -Excellent senior leadership... as one particular example, without getting into too many details, they extended themselves to help a certain segment of the employee population out when they were no obligation (other than to do the right thing) to do so, and might have had a nicer-looking balance sheet if they'd stood on the sidelines. These guys say they want to be a great place to work and they care about their employees, and actions like these are testament to that.

Cons

-Hours in my line of work can be a little longer than normal. Doesn't bother me personally that much since I think this job is a lot fun. -Most offices are in areas with pretty high costs of living.

Pros

Just about everything. The work environment is awesome, co-workers are awesome. It is a very welcoming company and fun to work for as sports betting is rapidly evolving and changing daily.

Cons

Promotions are rare if you don't have a really good friend as a higher-up as it may be a national company but, it is still a small company mindset in that aspect. To go along with that raises are not a common thing unless you know somebody. Other than that the company is really cool and fun to work for. No complaints besides those!
