Pros

ESPN is a well-known brand around the world, and that's reflected in the corporate culture. Management expects great things from you, as you're representing a huge brand. Compensation is great.

Cons

Due to the nature of the job, long hours are an inevitability for many employees. Media is that kind of animal. As I said, though, compensation is good.

Pros

The most talented people in the industry work here. There's great people outside ESPN, but chances are they ended up here at some point or are still there.

Cons

Everything you hated about how a high school cafeteria functioned socially is true at ESPN. Imagine it's with adults who have money and hormones.
