Not my family

Pros

Home game tickets. Half day Fridays in the summer. Working in Downtown Phoenix. You will meet a few cool people who will also leave the organization in the next couple months.

Cons

The organization could and should be a really fun place to work. Unfortunately the company still is very set in their ways with outdated processes and policies that won’t be changed anytime soon. The fact that there is zero maternity leave should speak to just how old school the company is. The PTO policy also is by far the worst I’ve ever seen in an organization. You don’t receive any PTO for 6 months. The dress code is strict and business professional and there is very little autonomy or flexibility around work schedules, which a lot of the teams already work such crazy hours due to game responsibilities. There is such a lack of accountability and collaboration in departments. Company wide updates are stuffy and you’ll leave uninspired. Any sort of team builders, holiday parties, or celebrations are awkward and not fun. If culture is important to you be aware that although the company prides themselves with “family” values no one really even gets to know one another and communication is lacking in so many ways. If you’re complacent and set in your ways this could be the place for you. If you’re young, passionate and driven look elsewhere because there is very little career progression and you’ll be unhappy and your salary will likely be more than double working in any other industry.

Leadership is poor

Pros

You get to work in professional sports. Free tickets to games. A lot of good people across the company, just not the long-time ones in leadership roles.

Cons

Most of the individuals in a leadership position have been with the organization for a while and they've created an environment that is, at most times, not enjoyable. I find their ethical standards to be questionable at best. One of them is married to her boss so if you have an issue with her, good luck telling anyone. Technically, it's not her boss anymore, but he was for many years and it's hard to get an idea of the organizational chart since the top people in the organization have given themselves promotions and title changes no less than two times each over the last year and a half. HR leadership is porous and you can't have any conversation confidentially. The president is a yes-man with no real leadership qualities and is largely laughed at across the league. In fact, most of our leadership have garnered that same reputation in the industry, unfortunately. A recent reviewer wrote that there were growth opportunities and I can say that is true in some areas of the business, but it is not a universal trait for this organization. Also, the "FAMILY Values" is a facade and no one really buys into that. It looks good on paper, but it's clearly the juvenile brainchild of HR leadership and the president. Laughable, really.
