Working at ESPN in Phoenix, AZ: 1 Employee Job Reviews by Real Employee working in Phoenix, AZ Area

What do you like about working at ESPN?

"I liked the environment of working around sports and the fast paced lifestyle of a live sports broadcast. It was always a run and gun type of operation where things needed to get done fast and effective, you didn't have a second chance to get it right. Since a lot of these productions were shot live, it was extremely important that your job role was understood and that you worked extremely hard to accomplish your specific task for the live broadcast. I enjoy sports in general, so it was a position that I was passionate about and every live broadcast brought something new to the job. It was fast paced and you always had to stay on your toes. That is something I enjoy. It is a fast paced environment where you need to act and react quickly and efficiently."

Do you have any tips for others interviewing with this company?

"Be yourself. Love sports. Work hard."

What don't you like about working at ESPN?

"When we had to do live broadcasts in terrible weather, when it was raining sideways and it was cold and miserable, and we were left to do the live broadcast from the sidelines of the football field. Those were not fun production days."

What suggestions do you have for management?

"Be clear and concise with producers and production assistants on their given roles for each broadcast. More communication is always better than less. I always thought management with ESPN ran effectively and efficiently!"
