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.

Pros

Intelligent coworkers Financial strength and resources to get stuff done World class brand with many new market opportunities Great place to launch a career or springboard to a company with a better culture

Cons

When I joined, the organization seemed world class. So many smart and ambitious people made the NFL fun, exciting, and a great place to learn. That was all lost with the onset of the pandemic in 2020. To be fair, this hasn’t been easy for any company to navigate, let alone a company whose finances are so dependent on gigantic live events. That said, upper management seems to have bungled their response at every opportunity. There is no trust, understanding, or willingness to work with employees who need flexible arrangements. Not to mention that the future of work doesn’t need to involve schlepping into an office where you connect via Zoom with others throughout the country the same way as you would remotely. It seems there’s a major generational and cultural divide at this organization that will take some disruption to resolve; if it ever is resolved. People are leaving in droves which is going to fundamentally change the composition of the league over time. Whether this is intentional or not is actively debated by current and former employees. There’s also an over-reliance on part time, seasonal, and vendor resources that is shortsighted and out of touch with the way other organizations treat those that contribute so deeply to their successes. Purposefully avoiding providing benefits and reasonable compensation is an embarrassing strategy for a company with such a successful brand and such financially prosperous owners.
