Pros

- Sideline passes are cool - Work with strong brands - You earn more than the mopes who actually work in athletic departments

Cons

- Management is stuck in an old media paradigm - Sales people encouraged to sell assets that no one wants - Commission structure is admittedly confusing. One VP apologized to me that is was as confusing as “Chinese arithmetic” - Corporate folks espouse values that they don’t live - National sales is an absolute disaster
