Pros
A fair amount of amenities, such as the gym, free food twice a week, and of course, the prestige of working for the 76ers. Pretty recognizable name across the board and people like the line on your resume. Good snacks. Benefits are okay. The work you do can occasionally be fun. There is a decent amount of creative freedom present if you seek it out.
Cons
The pay is disgustingly low. Minimum wage is not an acceptable rate for anyone with a degree of any sort. They can funnel millions upon millions of dollars to acquire players who will likely leave for another team, but will barely sneeze in the direction of the people who support everything they do. Significant pay increases are not common. Walmart and Target pay more for unskilled labor than HBSE does for people who dedicate 4-6 years of their lives to college. You’ll have to work a second job or freelance/consult to make ends meet. Interdepartmental communication has improved but is still messy. Typical corporate cluelessness is present—you’ll get asked to do work that others would charge well into the double digits to do. The employee turnover rate is noticeable. It’s very normal to eat lunch at your desk and work late—there is definitely an underlying toxicity behind working here. People here are working for a company that doesn’t work for them, and they stay because of the Sixers’ name. It’s very demotivating to think about when you have a mountain of work to do during the regular season. There are some cliques of people and a sort of crappy bro culture present—like some people who never grew out of the high school “dudebro” phase. The 401K options are pretty bad as well. Not that you’ll make enough to contribute to it. My advice? If you ABSOLUTELY must come here, strategize. Come for the “experience” and the line on your resume. Hop after a little bit and leave for another company that actually knows how to respect its employees—don’t fool yourself into thinking that they’ll come around. The name and reputation of 76ers truly is not worth being financially and mentally miserable.
