Pros

Telling people you work for ESPN is awesome. They are definitely an industry leader and a company that others could take some notes from. The office is very flexible and allows working from home, casual dress, and often ESPN sponsored event which can be fun.

Cons

The work environment of regional offices suffers from massive politics and management issues. A lack of holding people accountable starts at the top and severely impacts lower level employees. People are kept on staff that destroy teams and ruin it for all. No one is ever fired nor reprimanded. They do not offer competitive compensation and the opportunity for advancement is not there in regional offices for most departments.

Overall my experience at ESPN was filled with many highs and a few lows.

Pros

Working for a big entertainment company, getting paid to watch sports, being a part of an operation that puts a great product on TV and seeing your efforts pay off.

Cons

Low salary, late hours, bad bosses, interoffice politics, living in Bristol if you are based there, dealing with corporate downsizing.

Pros

I am as big a sports fan as you can get....benefits were great and pay was decent.

Cons

Even though it has been a company priority there is no work/life balance and those promoted are not always the most deserving.
