Pros

ESPN is a big company that is well-known, so you can be proud when you say you work there. The job security is very good, as you can't get fired for poor job performance. The benefits package is also excellent, which is no small thing nowadays.

Cons

ESPN knows it's big, and knows everyone who hasn't worked there wants to work there, so they treat their employees like garbage. They don't care about paying competitive rates because they can just get someone else in to do the same job. Moving up is very difficult, as they are reluctant to promote anyone due to the required bump in salary. Also, become promotions are rare, people are reluctant to share information to better the product as a whole, because someone else will get credit for it and steal their desired job.

Pros

Absolutely none. There is nothing good about this excuse for a company.

Cons

They pay FAR below the industry standard. There is a reason why everyone calls it the Every Single Penny Network (ESPN). Their production standards are the laughing stock of the industry! Their workforce has been criminally understaffed and underpaid for decades. Avoid Bristol and its bloated clueless middle management like the plague!
