Overall a great company with endless potential
Jul 18, 2020 - Anonymous EmployeeRecommendCEO ApprovalBusiness OutlookPros
FANTASTIC office culture. Amenities are top notch. Work/Life balance is very well attended (dependent on the person) Base pay is solid. Laid back culture, no babysitting, they treat you like an adult and expect you to do your job as such Managers want to have a good time at work and love to see people succeed
Cons
Relatively new territory/market. Need better universal training for present leadership and those who want to become leadership. Seems that the culture is mostly laid back which can have its own set of negative effects if left unacknowledged Not a terribly difficult job but when you are expected to know answers for several different products and you subsequently become an expert, you should be paid a higher wage. Obvious success and growth of the company should yield higher wages for those who have helped that growth (across the company, not just execs)

Genuinely enjoy working here
Dec 9, 2021 - Television Production in Las Vegas, NVRecommendCEO ApprovalBusiness OutlookPros
Employees treated well. Management understands each role and it’s needs. Excellent equipment. Talented and experienced staff. Solid balance of work and home life. Honestly feel appreciated and proud of the work I do.
Cons
Sometimes the work load can be heavy. And hours can be a bit tough. It’s nearly a 24/7 operation and a 1am call time isn’t always easy.

Thanks for sharing your feedback and writing a review. We're extremely proud of the work our media and production teams are doing. Having content streaming 24/7 is so small task and it certainly takes a team of passionate and dedicated employees to ensure a successful operation. We're thankful for your hard work day after day to produce the best audio/video media for DraftKings!

Pros
Good perks with working at DraftKings and the people there are all very nice. Good atmosphere overall
Cons
I was serverly underpaid and had no room to grow in the company. I reached out about other opportunities in company to be told it was being looked into and then would never hear back. On my way out I did not even have an exit interview after barely taking any days off and consistently over performing in my role. Customer Experience Associates are expected to work brutal off hours which really hurt my work life balance.

Thank you for taking the time to give us honest feedback on the company. While we're glad to hear that you enjoyed working with your peers and the overall atmosphere, we're sorry to hear that you did not feel supported in your career development. We prioritize career growth and success across all verticals so we will bring these concerns to leadership. Employees who provide a resignation notice will typically receive an opportunity to complete and directly provide exit interview feedback - we’ll look into this more closely with our HRBP team.

Thank you for giving us a glowing review! We agree - the work-life balance is great and an amazing place to work for both sports lovers and nonsports lovers. There are lots of opportunities to be challenged and rewarded for everyone's strong work ethic. We love having wonderful people such as yourself work here.

Pros
Laid back environment, nice people to work with
Cons
Unethically put you in a shift that does not allow for any work life balance. They wait a month to tell you the hours you will work, then string you along saying it will change. The pay is horrible and the hours are inflexible and there is no room for growth within the company. There is no incentive to do good work here. Stay away from customer service.
