Pros

Some nice coworkers, sometimes score free tickets for nights you're not already working

Cons

Where to begin... now to be fair, I was employed with the team prior to COVID. It is very possible that some things have changed for the better since then. The team was a nightmare to work for though when I was there. You get paid little to nothing, unless you're in management and are expected to work incredibly long days/hours with nothing in return other than being able to say you work for the Pittsburgh Penguins. I made $21K annually (before taxes) & I brought the team $300,000+ in total ticket revenue in less than 2 years time... you do the math. Oh, I've also never had a worse manager. She provided me little to no direction upon starting and she had no idea what she was doing. Half the time I would turn around to her cube to see her online shopping... she was hired when Sid was drafted so she just rode his coattails all the way to the top!

Good Sports Experience, No Value to Organization

Pros

You get to know management from different departments that can benefit you down the road by having business contacts. Able to attend all home games. Received pre game meal for every home game. Real sports experience, not just getting coffee and making copies.

Cons

The organization has issues with favoritism. Different departments are favored, this stems from the fact that the organization does not have an HR department. So many internal issues stem from the organization not having HR. Management lies about small things to try and keep those lower on the food chain out of the loop. A young front office often times leads room for drunken nights that lead into irritable workers the next day.

Pros

Office culture is a positive as it seems everyone is in good spirits. You have the opportunity to see the day to day operations of working for a sports franchise. Office events are always fun due to location being inside a hockey arena.

Cons

The work/life balance is tough with the long hours, but that is the nature of being in the sports business.
