Comcast Spectacor Reviews

Pros

Access to great concerts for free

Cons

Constant turnovers of co-workers and management

Advice to Senior Management

Value your employees

Pros

Upbeat environment
Inovation is encouraged and appreciated
Thinking outside the box is the norm, not a rarity
Working for Spectacor feels very much like working for a small company where you're not a number. From what I hear, it differs from working for Comcast in that respect

Cons

it can be a bit of a boys club, but not in a way that cannot be overcome

Advice to Senior Management

Focus on the HR department, it needs work and some negative influences cleared out
Several Spectacor entities that I'm familiar with have few, if any, women in management/leadership roles.

Pros

Fun Atmosphere to work, good co workers

Cons

Terrible Bosses that are way too young

Advice to Senior Management

Treat people better

Pros

Fun atmosphere with growth opportunities. Leadership is good and they have a good perspective of their business direction and provide that to staff.

Cons

Work-life balance is a challenge. It is a role that requires a time committment and may not be the best fit for certain lifestyles.

Advice to Senior Management

Be fair to all who give their 100% effort, not just the ones who brown-nose.

Pros

Learn a ton about the sports industry as they have a wide range of areas to get involved in. Growing comany with plenty of opportunities - especially if you are willing to relocate.

Cons

Industry in general is a churn and burn environment. I worked harder for less compensation with this company than any other job I held.

Advice to Senior Management

High pressure environment weeds out some qualified employees.

Pros

Great place to work if you are willing to put in the hours. Excellent sports organization if want to start or grow your career.

Cons

Long hours and a lot of weekends. Pretty typical of the industry, however. Pay is on par with the industry.

Advice to Senior Management

Great company to work for, and excellent place to grow a sports career. Could work a little harder to keep talented people.

Pros

Get to meet tons of athletes and celebrities. Also, Philadelphia fans are the best.

Cons

Like any job in the sports and entertainment industry, the hours are very long and the pay is very little

Advice to Senior Management

None

Pros

They were very well organized and offered a lot of exposure for the internship. It was a semester long, compensated with credits. Definitely worth the experience if you are looking to get into sports/event marketing

Cons

There were a lot of other interns in my group and the competition was tough. It was also tough to get back in touch with previous employees because they didn't stay in the current position very long

Advice to Senior Management

N/a

Pros

If you are interested in working in this industry, they have tons of opportunities.
They work on a best practices philosophy.

Cons

Size of company.
It's all about what have you done for me lately.

Advice to Senior Management

Recognition/Treatment of all employees who work hard and perform well...not just the ones who are good at smoozing.

Pros

if you want to stay within the larger company, there are many opportunities. health benefits are good, multiple locations to find work if willing to travel

Cons

little pay and respect for anyone not in upper management. uneven support of employees, some are liked, some are treated awfully. boys club, bully type behavior can get tiring. one moment you can be a star and the next you are torn apart. sales goals are set but there are little to no rewards for achieving them other than keeping your job.

Advice to Senior Management

you have good people working for you. treat them well and you will soar higher
