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.

Pros

Relaxed atmosphere, Good People, no real dress code at work Free tickets to games come quite often, and good benefits

Cons

Very averse to change. Projects take forever to get moving, HR is very poor in solving problems with the organization, very much "a boys club," Management training and furthering education is non existent (they dont supplement this type of training), no chance for upward movement, and very poor bonus/raise structure

Pros

Good company. Lots of smart people. Access to NHL games is a plus and the suite for MSG events is nice as well.

Cons

Bonuses could be better. Lots of strong personalities. Lots of old school thinking and mostly averse to change.
