Pros

* The people you get to work with * The equipment is some of the best in the industry, new office building is nice * Goodie bags every Super Bowl, free snacks/coffee

Cons

Where to begin.. * HR is an absolute mess, and always has been in my five years at the NFL... they didn't even let me do an exit interview after resigning! * Full-time staff are treated much better than seasonal employees * Very hard to climb the ladder here, very much still a boys club * Culture is subpar overall, morale has been low since before covid * No work from home flexibility, even though they try to tell you there is. * Upper management is slow to change, unless there's something in it for them. * Have been more than one round of layoffs without any real explanation behind them.

Could be so much more, but there's no onus to change.

Pros

-Speaks for itself: you get to work for the NFL. -Excellent benefits which are (usually) easy to access or change. -Opportunities to work on Hollywood-grade shoots and events, if you can get them.

Cons

-Laughable lack of opportunities for advancement. The upper brass is more concerned with protecting the interests of the NFL's billionaire owners than offering stable employment to talented, hardworking, and passionate people. -Every new position that becomes available is either seasonal or part-time, squashing the majority of opportunities to build a career. Queries related to transitioning departments or upgrading job responsibilities are met with ambivalence or gatekeeping. -Very cliquey with lots of division between departments. I've lost count of the number of times I've needed help from another department and either never got an answer or was met with confusion. -Higher-ups are completely disconnected from the needs of their employees. Internal improvements feel invisible at times. -The quality of technology is incredible in some of the "marquee" departments, but sorely lacking in others.

Cons

-you're an intern but treated like a full employee for $10/hour -very little chance you get hired after -most of the employees are part-time or seasonal employees because the NFL is evil and doesn't want to spend the money on benefits -extreme lack of diversity
