Loyalty - One Way Road

Pros

The people at the company are good people. The fans you work with are good people and the goal you have as an organization is a modest one. Good health and 401K but the salary doesn't help.

Cons

The company is hypocritical about their "loyalty" to their employees. They choose to leave their employees in the dark. They underpay their employees significantly to the point the employee is living pay check to pay check. They do not help their employees develop. They don't offer opportunities for career development. The hours and salary are abysmal with the lack of flexibility. The organization has a reputation of being cheap and it is true.

Pros

Living in Chicago, great fan support, iconic brand

Cons

This organization was extremely disappointing. The business side is overwhelmed with gossip, and everyone seems to be competing against each other to gain the executives' favor. Most employees are severely underpaid, and the turnover rate is alarmingly high. They appear to be fine with letting go of employees because they believe that "good employees can't be retained in the sports industry." Diversity in upper management is one of the worst in the league, despite the organization being located in Chicago. The highest-ranking black male on the business side holds only the title of a senior coordinator. The executive team consists entirely of white women and men, with one exception. However, they often boast about their DEI efforts, citing the diverse seasonal interns they hire to create the appearance of inclusivity. The Bulls are stuck in their past successes. Some employees have been here for far too long and seem to think that the Bulls are superior to every other team, even though they have a lot of catching up to do. There is very selective enforcement of when policies are enforced and against whom. HR surveys are not truly anonymous and are used to identify who needs to be "watched." There's limited room for growth here, and the constant turnover makes it extremely challenging to achieve long-term goals. Four months after I started, I witnessed an astounding 40 new hires. Don't be lured in by the dreams they sell; they can't fulfill them. The on-court product reflects the internal dysfunction and a below-average corporate culture. In conclusion, don't come to the Chicago Bulls with the expectation of contributing your unique ideas to improve the organization. You'll face resistance and be blacklisted from growing. The brand's pompous ego can be demoralizing and diminish the joy of working here. Being a part of the Bulls is not as special as they believe it to be—perhaps it was 30 years ago, but in the modern era, they've been left in the past by their own choosing.

Pros

Chicago Bulls gave up this season. It is very visible in the VIP floor section as well. No servers. No service. And replace the nets please, are things that bad. Miserable floor service; miserable game; misery all around.

Cons

Poor HR. Miserable GM. Killing the Legendary Culture. Stupid.
