Pros

- As a feature producer, depending what unit / management you work for, there are phenomenal opportunities to travel. - Again with the caveat that it's variable depending on what department you're with, there are opportunities to pursue directing/producing any domestic/ international story on the sports landscape. Pitch the story, get a green lit, and you're off in running. - Resources at the company are unparalleled. As a Feature Producer, the footage rights an individual has access to are remarkable. - Smart, driven and overall very talented colleagues.

Cons

- base salaries are low - even for top performers, advancement moves at a very slow pace - some lack of flexibility as it relates to work/life balance
