Pros

Trips. Events. Lots of training year round. Food on gameday. Great stepping stone.

Cons

I enjoyed a lot of my time here. Most of management is approachable. Since the cavs are winning if you work for their minor league properties you get a sense that they do not care about you. Understandable as the Cavs are a big $$$ maker. You get told that you can start out as OBD and move up but they will keep you as a Junior for a long time after OBD. Sometimes you get put with the Monsters or Glads and they will throw this dream that you will move up to the cavs. Rarely does that happen. They will hire from the outside just to keep you where you are at. They will tell you " You are not ready" then like myself you'll leave for job in the Majors. Since I left there has been a lot of turnover with reps. Some getting out of sports. Some moving to different teams.

Pros

- Good work/life management. - Free food during events. - Free parking in the city. - Discounts around the city if you're a Cavs employee. - Decent pay, compares to sports in general. - Half day Fridays. - Free game tickets. - Easy to get employees here. No one knows what they're doing. Anyone can be hired.

Cons

- Healthcare was mediocre at best. Paid a lot for simple procedures. - Company didn't have a Health Savings Account until 2023. Much later than most companies. In general, the Cavaliers are not modern with their approach to benefits. - Everyone gossips, and no one got there with talent or skill. Everyone just waited till someone left or got fired, and they got promoted. So often times, presentations seem like an 8th grade presentation. People having no experience and tons of stage freight. Everyone is pretending daily to know what they're doing. - No diversity. Micromanaging everyone in every floor. No one there really likes being there, expect for game days. Everyone gossips. - Only people with families get promoted. They want to make sure you don't have a reason to leave, as it will impact your family financially. - Not much happens in the summer. The city is empty, ghostly. Everyone spends most of their time cleaning their emails. Felt like they purchased my youth to keep me in a ghostly office all summer. It was depressing at best. - Terrible culture among leaders and employees. Again, no respect. Everyone gossips about another. It was shocking to see, as the new person incoming. They will treat you like this is your first job ever, not as someone with extensive work history. Lots of egos around.

Not a great work environment

Pros

Cool job working for an NBA team. Lots of free Cavs gear.

Cons

Toxic work environment, management is unstable and unfair. Extreme amounts of turnover. People are dropping like flies. Very low pay, long hours, minimum recognition, few perks. Not much room for growth in the organization.
