Poor Place to Work

Pros

It's the NFL, friends, family, and acquaintances are impressed.

Cons

They treat you like dirt. CDO has no compassion, can you say "cut-throat"? They have brought in a bunch of kids with no experience as the VP's and they have no idea how to manage, build, or lead a strong team.

Pros

-Smart and passionate colleagues who are genuinely good people -Football being the subject matter of your work is fun -Huge brand recognition, opening doors for you anywhere else once you have it on your resume -People will think you have a really cool job (but you will be silently weeping on the inside with a smile on your face)

Cons

-The company is on a fast sinking downhill trajectory that seems impossible to stop, would highly encourage interested applicants to wait a year or two before joining -LA division is being primed to be sold in the coming year, causing very low morale with the threat of mass layoffs ahead -All employees were forced to return to work 5x a week with limited/no flexibility -HR is grossly incompetent and has turned over every single year with no recourse -There are no consistent policies for growth, raises, development, and more = impossible to be promoted on schedule -Contractors make up a significant portion of the workforce and are relied on like full-time employees but do not have benefits, paid holidays, etc.

Pros

It sounds great to work for the NFL. Sadly, the perception of working for the company is the best thing about the job.

Cons

There is little to no opportunity for advancement. You should be prepared to be on call 24/7 and not expect any sort of recognition. Employee morale is dismal. No one is happy to be there. The company expects the world from their employees and does not reward them accordingly. No NFL perks such as tickets. The NY League office could care less about the LA team. Little to no effort is put into making the employees (at least in LA) feel like part of the NFL family. When walking into the office you don't know you are at the NFL. The decor is non-descriptive and boring. The HR leadership in the Culver City office come across as extremely arrogant which is odd because the consensus around the office is leadership doesn't know what they are doing.
