Pros

If you are a sports fan, this adds a heck of a lot to the enjoyment of working here. Else, it's a job just like anywhere else. I did have enough leeway that my manager basically left me alone and just said Hi in the hallways when we happened to pass each other.

Cons

Standard senior management complaint: incompetent jerks. The only thing they have going for them is that they don't need to work to make money: it just rolls in the door (this is baseball, folks). They have no real accountability, and projects rarely possess any real validity or realistic completion date (it's either 'do it now' or 'I really don't care anymore').

Pros

If you love baseball, it's hard not to love walking into an office covered in baseball stuff each morning. The people are generally very nice and are willing to help out on various projects. There are many perks for working at MLB just like working for any other league or team which include attending games and freebee promotional stuff. The office is also very nice considering it occupies one of the highest floors in a beautiful building on Park Avenue.

Cons

Things generally move very slowly at MLB. I'm not sure whether that's because it doesn't feel like a real company and more like some other type of organization, but there doesn't seem to be an urgency to things. Also, the company is slightly dysfunctional. I always felt like the left hand didn't exactly know what the right hand was doing, which created a lot of confusion for managers and employees.

Pros

Get to be a part of sports. Casual office environment. Decent perks for baseball fans.

Cons

Hard to get cooperation as a new employee. Management treats its workers like dirt, always wanting you to work more hours. Takes advantage of baseball fans by making them work many late hours. They also dont give you any desktops, each employee has a laptop. For baseball benefits, they give you a pass to all baseball games but then say you cant use it on weekends or any of the sold out games, meaning any of the good games when you actually have time. If you happen to have time on a weekday if you get out early enough then you can get cheap seats at a non-sold out game.
