      Pros

      - Fantastic stepping stone job if you are seeking a career in pro sports. - Very flexible schedule, depending on department. - Discounts at NHL store and a limited amount of staff tickets to NHL games, depending on job title, seniority, etc.

      Cons

      - Way too many "lifers" in senior management who have little to no desire to promote from within or stick their necks out for their employees. - Management communication with staff is awful. Senior management would guard essential information as if their jobs depended on it.

      Pros

      The pros of working for the NHL is the subject matter (if you love hockey) and the benefits. The NHL probably offers the best benefits of any company. Plus, the workplace is fairly casual (you can wear jeans everyday).

      Cons

      Upper management is old boys club and they are clueless. The NHL's Human Resources department is awful, they are all lifers who don't care about any of their employees because their jobs are always safe and they have no incentive to improve things. Finally, there are many employees who have been working there for a long time and are entitled, and bring little to the table. Yet they are never let go and seem to have permanent job security, while newer people are always the first to be laid off. Hence, things never really change or improve.
