      Pros

      This role requires quite a bit of travel and provides you with an opportunity to connect with the tennis community in an exciting and impactful way. Pros definitely include meeting and collaborating with phenomenal people from different backgrounds.

      Cons

      Cons are that things may change with very little notice so prepare to have your schedule upended and rearrange some plans. The Tour cannot control the unexpected things that may occur when traveling for tournaments so that can pose a major con at times but the support is always there.

            Pros

            They tend to hire people too junior in experience for the roles they are given. But with this, it is an amazing opportunity to take hold and experience a lot of career growth very quickly. "Trial by fire" If you come out on top, you really are quite far ahead of your peers with experience.

            Cons

            Same as pro...they tend to hire people too junior in experience for their roles. This can lead to anxiety and burn out. Additionally you end up doing work you should be paid more for if you were in any other company (even another sports organization).

              Great travel, loved the people I worked with.

              Cons

              Lacked communication. Didn't understand the scope of my profession and would ask for changes in things that would take a lot more time than I was allotted for.

                Pros

                If you are lucky to be on the traveling staff then you get the incredible benefit of being able to travel the globe expenses free (incl. hotel, airfare, food etc.). For travel staff, the company does well in terms of work-life balance, days off, PTO, comp days etc.

                Cons

                No career path or career development plan in place. No bi-annual or annual review / feedback system in place. Poor communication and transparency from both department heads and executive staff. Nepotism and conflicts of interest run rampant at this organization. Executive staff does not know how to delegate certain tasks, department silos and therefore have become comfortable with having too much power and can't delegate or give some of it up. Every time they try to hire a new VP to help alleviate workload, the new hires then get squeezed out in 6 months to a year because the executives don't like experiencing the loss of power.

                    Incredible organization to work for. Passionate, hard-working people surround you at all times and gaining experience was so beneficial.

                    Cons

                    Pay wasn't great with the amount of work, but the experience was unparalleled. Favoritism/hierarchy around office was extremely noticeable at times

                      The company had promotions where you could receive free tickets to tournament games after work hours.

                      Cons

                      Communication was challenging because the tournament grounds were so expansive, and employees would be hard to reach at times.

                      Is it normal that after the pre-interview with HR, and after he mentioned I would have the first interview with manager xx, he just disappeared? I sent an email and called the office a week later but no answers from him. Is this the way KPMG recruit people? He also contacted me two months later from the day I applied.

                      I've been on the job market for the past 4 months, facing challenges with securing interviews. I'm contemplating enrolling in Career Elevator (www.mycareerelevator.com) to refine my interview skills. Additionally, I'm intrigued by ApplyAll.com, a tool for automating job applications. Has anyone used either program to enhance their job search? I'm eager to learn more and would greatly appreciate any advice or insights you might have! Thank you in advance for your help!

                      Manager

                      Confused. Currently working for a mid sized firm with big clients but have been offered a role through my network for a relatively small startup but a with higher designation / lead role & similar salary to my existing pay. The new role is more strategy + lead but non technical while my current role is managerial level but more technical. If in my position, would you stay in your current role or take the new one?? Happy to answer follow up questions. Thank you.
