    It's what you'd expect

    Apr 6, 2023 - Social Media in New York, NY

    Pros

    - There is room for upward mobility, which is nice BUT only if you're a suck up to the "talent" or upper management. There were tons of talented, hardworking coworkers who I saw constantly overlooked for raises and overworked to take on an insane amount of work simply because they were talented, but it was never reflected in their pay. Meanwhile the slackers who actually gave everyone extra work because they had to cover for their incompetency were rewarded. It was so backwards. - Job Security: It's no secret Barstool is here for the long-haul. They found a strong audience so depending on where you land, you'll have job security (minus when they go through a RIF). Just don't expect any substantial raises to come with it, you'll need to be happy with your starting pay raising about 7K max during your tenure (covering inflation? We don't know her) There really is no pros unless you're a die-hard fan of Barstool. It can be a fun job for someone right out of college as a first job, but for anyone who knows what they're worth you wont be getting the paycheck you deserve unless you're in an upper level position or on-camera.

    Cons

    - Pay is abysmal unless you're on camera. They know a lot of people will work simply because its "Barstool," but "fun" doesn't pay the bills. If you work there currently, ask your coworkers what they make because it's astounding how much they lowball people. - Misogyny, racism, and sexism runs rampant. The content they post is dreadful and caters to incels with two braincells working overtime to form a thought. - There are a lot of women in the company, especially in the C-suite, which is great. But they still cater to a misogynistic, sexist outlook on life in the name of "female empowerment" (i.e. Call Her Daddy circa 2020) - Its a frat house. Talent hooks up with bosses to get more air time, coworkers are hooking up with other coworkers. Executives are cheating on their spouses at Happy Hours. It was bizarre.
