Pros

1. FT benefits are covered 100% 2. The people who are actually CONTENT and HAPPY working for MLBAM make going to work worth it. 3. FT employees receive a Courtesy Pass that allows you to go to a game free of charge (when the ballpark actually accepts them). 4. Location is convenient (easy commute). 5. Dress code is casual (jeans and sneakers are acceptable)

Cons

1. UNHAPPY PEOPLE. It makes going to work much more difficult KNOWING you'll go to work to a department that has nothing positive to say. Only complaint after complaint. You'll go in with a happy spirit and leave miserable by the end of the day. 2. Processes are nonexistent. 3. Workload is very heavy. 4. Work and Personal Life are tough to manage together. 5. No room for growth unless someone is let go or quits.

Pros

can be a fun work environment at times, get to watch baseball for a living and interact with talent

Cons

little to no opportunity for advancement, out of touch management who gives no feedback, terrible pay structure, miserable work hours and even worse scheduling procedures, people who participate in office politics and have family members in the industry get preferential treatment over employees who are actually good at their jobs, you are technically freelance but only when its convenient for them (i.e. not giving you health benefits or vacations days), they give you a hard time for requesting time off as a FREELANCE employee

Pros

The part-time and full-time staff on the floor are amazing. Unfortunately, the management/upper management know this and use it to that staff's disadvantage.

Cons

The treatment of part-time employees is the worst I've ever seen. "Out of earshot, they refer to part-timers as children and full-timers as adults." The pay is terrible. The mandatory 30 minute break for part timers is discouraged and not even expressed to new hires that if they work 6 or more hours, they are entitled by NYS law to give their workers 30 minutes. This not explained at all, but rather, when you are hired, you are told people usually go downstairs to grab something to go or have something delivered and eat at their stations. The hours are terrible, and there will be no consideration for a short turnaround. You could easily be scheduled for 4pm-12am and then be on for 8am the next day. No vehicle transportation for late-night workers. Not to mention the disrespectful way the people on the multimedia floor are treated, Talked down to with zero respect. If you don't have any other option and don't want to move up in a company, this is your spot!
