Pros

Working in sports. Discount. Laid-back, but hard-working office environment

Cons

Of course, the pay isn't the greatest and the nights and weekend hours are long - but that is expected in the sports-related business and does not bother me at all. The only real con of this place is the room for advancement. Without a doubt, being promoted is definitely performance-based in certain departments but not in Marketing. It's a joke. Does not matter how good of a job you do or how bad of an employee you are, if you've been working in marketing for a few years, you'll be "promoted" just with everyone else who started at the same time as you. And this isn't a secret at all. Every employee in the department knows this. You're screwing over the employees who actually go above and beyond. Why should I work hard if I'm not being rewarded for it? You're telling me the guy who watches movies on netflix all day long is getting promoted at the same time as me? This is the same guy who constantly comes in late and takes 2 hours lunch breaks. He does the bare minimum, but still gets a promotion. Great job taking care of the people who really care about growing the business!

Pros

Company has a great open door policy and less bureaucratic than a traditional company. Interesting industry and opportunities. Company is

Cons

Communication is not clear between departments and a lot of two steps forward 1 step back. Day to day work involves quick fixing problems vs. long term solutions. Compensation is on the lower side. Those who make monumental mistakes are not held accountable.
