Pros
* You get to work around the sports you love. * Everyone is working on the thing that lights them up! * The company runs on Macs (I couldn't imagine having to work on a PC!) * If you're working in one of the well established sports (wrestling, Cheer, etc) you can travel a lot to the events and really engage with the sport/athletes/etc. * Paid Health Care
Cons
* Highly Underpaid - Took a substantial pay cut to work here. Unfortunately, FloSports leverages your passions and pays below market avg for this position * Highly Overworked - I believe in hard work, and putting in whatever it takes, but FloSports takes the cake for overworking their employees. I'm talking 0 work/life balance. 40hrs a week would have been a walk in the park - 60hrs a week would have been doable, but I was putting in over 70 hours a week for 7 months straight. I was working most days (including Sat and Sun!)from 5am - 10 pm, only taking time to eat lunch at my desk and commute home. Expressing that this workload wasn't sustainable, I was told by mgmt that "this isn't a 9-5." lol. I could work a 9-5 in my sleep, but this was slave labor. * Zero Direction, Guidance, or Training - From day one, my manager maid no effort to make sure I was trained on SOP, position workflow, duties/responsibilities, or anything... I basically did the best I could from asking others and from getting the occasional email from my boss about me doing something wrong. After a few weeks, once I realized this company had no process in place for training, education, etc, I brought up the problem to my boss and the CMO, asking for guidance saying that I know I could crush it if anyone took anytime to help guide me. Again, zero ownership in this area and they kept shrugging me off every time I asked for help. * No Path For Growth - After understanding that this company had nothing in place for training, I knew I needed to take my growth into my own hands, and tried to get my manger to commit to some quantifiable goals so we could track if I was on target, and how I could over achieve those goals in order to grow in the company. Again, couldn't get any commitment from my superiors on how to succeed in this position or at this company. * Layoffs - This company is going through employees, making morale really really bad. * Time Off - There was "unlimited Paid Time Off", which is a total joke because most departments/verticals didn't have enough of a team to lean on to actually take time off without their work going to poop.
