Nice Leaders, Tough Environment - Anonymous employee Pro Football Network Employee Review

The culture at PFN is great, and the executive team cares about their staff as people. It is a tight-knit environment where you are doing something new every day. The strategy changes often, but it's more likely due to the industry rather than a lack of vision.

It's sports media, so hours are long, and there's really no such thing as holidays. The workload could be heavy at times, but again, it's sports media so it's to be expected. The executive team does get a lot of pressure from the company above them, and sometimes we feel that pressure, too. They try to shield us from it as much as possible, though, which is appreciated.
