      Great place to work

      Pros

      -- Opportunity to pursue whatever you'd like -- Management was, in my opinion, more than competent and willing to roll up their sleeves and do dirty work. -- Teamwork and collaboration within groups was not only encouraged, but a vital part of ESPN's success.

      Cons

      -- Bristol and CT in general can be tough to get used to -- Pay was fair, but cost of living in CT is high and can affect overall outlook on job. -- On TV side, too much emphasis placed, at times, on promotion over content. When I worked at ESPN.com, it was the complete opposite.

      If you pay you dues and are a sports fan

      Pros

      If you're a big sports fan it's definitely worth working here. You get to work on highly visible things that you can show off to other people, and work in a culture where everyone loves sports.

      Cons

      For the Bristol office, the downside is being in Bristol. There's really nothing in the area, so unless you have a family and don't want to go out much, the are stinks. Also, because of the demand to work there, the pay isn't that great. For marketing and sale in NY, I didn't think there was much interest in pushing the bounds of technology. Plus, ESPN works in Disney's propriety language, which isn't really useful anywhere outside of Disney.

      Pros

      Televisions in your cubicle, access to personal trainers

      Cons

      lacks many of the perks you would assume would come along with working for ESPN. Staff is incredibly bureaucratic and political, very difficult to move up if you are not a lifetime employee.
