Pros
Obviously, working for a professional sports team is a pretty cool experience at times. First there is the reaction you get when you tell people you work for the Sixers. Then there is the feeling of being a part of something that you have idiolized since you were a kid, of having an NBA Team's logo on your business card, of getting to discuss basketball on the phone for your job, getting to meet the coaches etc. All of that is great. And I do truly believe that there are some people at the organization who are believe that they are doing the right thing, that care about being honest, decent people both to their employees and their fans.
Cons
This has been said ad nauseam in the other reviews, but it bears repeating. This job is essentially a glorified telemarketing job. You get paid garbage wages, you are cold calling people, the majority of whom have not been to a sixers game in years, or in some cases, ever, and you are pushed to sell a product to anyone and everyone who will buy it. There are around 80 other sales people trying to sell the same thing you are, with the top people being fed good leads. Other reps will cheat the system to find good leads before they are assigned, and then when management is alerted to this, they pretend to care, but do nothing. Because at the end of the day, what matters most is getting sales as high as humanly possible. The culture there is toxic, and as I mention in the title, is reminiscent of a cult. Employees who submitted requests for time off were asked for the reason by the managers, (which I am fairly sure is illegal) and berated if the reason was not deemed good enough. While the day started at 9 and ended at 5:30, anyone who arrived after 8:30 or left before 6:30 or 7 were ridiculed for not "getting after it". To a certain extent, that is sales, that is the sports industry, and many teams have that philosophy. However what really makes this place worse is that there was just so much double talk and BS spewed from management, about how great the culture is and how its the best sales team in sports. Well sure, that sales number will be high if you have 5 times the reps that other organizations have. And while the culture seems great because of the fun office environment, the cheering for accomplishments, awards for doing well, trips etc. once you are there for a while you start to see through it all, and realize that you are in a cult. Management gets their top sales reps to report on anyone saying bad things about the office, people have been fired for looking for other jobs, it just becomes a miserable place to work after a while. Oh and I am fairly certain that reps are lied to, or at least withheld information so that they can lie to their prospects easier.
