Pros
- Free beer & snacks - Very casual, relaxed office environment - IF you're full-time, the 401k employer match is pretty great Note: Overall this is a decent place to work, but please read my cons...
Cons
On paper, Bleacher Report seems like a dream job for a 20-something sports lover. But the reality of it all is truly the opposite. The beer, snacks and laid back environment is all a diversion. Take that away and you are left with an extremely untrustworthy, cheap and horribly mismanaged company. Management does not reward hard work or even good work, but rather the employees that are buddy buddy with the fraternity-like group of overpaid and under-qualified managers who have been grandfathered into their positions since the startup days (before Turner bought the company). Promotions and fair compensation is hard to come by. Temporary employees are promised full-time employment, yet are hired then fired repeatedly every sports calendar year to save money. The company is not loyal to their full-time employees and will fire you without notice if they choose. The video department specifically is very divided. Management is passive aggressive and refuses to address or fix any of these problems. The underlying theme at Bleacher Report is that the product must thrive at the expense of the employee. I encourage you to stay away.
