      Solid place to work in the sports world, growth depends on department

      Anonymous employee

      Business Outlook

      Pros

      Didn't lay anyone off during last lockout, though we did go to four-day work weeks. Good benefits. Growth varies, some departments faster than others. Money par for the course in an industry everybody wants to work in, you won't get rich.

      Cons

      Again, depends on the department. Some are very set in their structures and don't have much advancement opportunity, others are turning over constantly and providing talent for the rest of the office. Get in with the right one and you're good. Otherwise not for the ambitious.

      League is woke and dysfunctional

      Director
      Recommend
      CEO approval
      Business Outlook

      Pros

      For a traditionally patriotic sport, the league feels culturally conflicted and increasingly invisible. It has supported initiatives like a Palestinian hockey team with little transparency, while tolerating questionable internal behavior from leadership. The league is essentially bulletproof and would likely grow regardless, driven by country-based rivalries. You could cut half the organization and it probably wouldn’t impact the product. Even with the Olympics, they still struggle to capitalize. It’s not a particularly fun place to work in or with.

      Cons

      see above. It's a big name but that's all.
