Do Not Sell My Personal Information

Literally got an email from TeamWork Online promoting a "Meet The Executives" event at Browns Stadium for next month.

Man, they couldn't have timed that release worse.


Fact of the matter is, while the Browns have alot of cleaning up to do within their respective departments, this reflects poorly on their Event Management team and salespeople than it does anything else.

This just doesn't play at the level of a Sashi Brown, DePo, etc.

Shouldn't that have been filtered to your spam folder? Better call IT.

god I'm glad I stopped looking for careers in sports anymore.

I love the Indians and Cavs until the day I die, but man were the people in charge of hiring on the ticket sales front for those teams passive aggressive dicks.
 
I'd say 99% of Sport Management majors in Ohio have attended an event similar to this in the past. I myself went to two very similar events while I was in school, once at The Q and once at Nationwide Arena in Columbus. They always make you pay to attend and attached a game ticket into the price. Both times, I stood in painstakingly long lines just to grab a business card from some poor schmuck that looked like they wished they could be anywhere else and could never answer any of my questions.

As others have mentioned too, almost all of the "employers" at these events are just looking for interns or seasonal ticket sales associates. It's the same story every time.

The moral of the story is don't ever major in Sport Management. If you really, really want to work in sports and that's your passion, major in business, major in marketing, major in public relations, major in literally anything else. By the time you're done with school, you'll find out working in sports is a dead end anyhow and end up working in a completely unrelated field that doesn't pay you a salary just above the poverty line.

I tried a career in sports coming out of college and @NorthCoastBias nailed it as to the reason I do not work in sports now. I interned for the Cleveland Lumberjacks as well as TeamWork Consulting (just as TeamWorkOnline was being formed). I had a job out of school with the Cavaliers. Breaking into the sports you start in ticket sales. You get the first job you can and stick around for a year or 2 then move on. Maybe you take a low level manager job with a single A team in Indianapolis. You work there for a year or 2 then take a sales manager job Sioux Falls, SD. You realize that sucks living in SD so you take the same job but move to Sacramento. All the while you are hoping to be the GM of some organization but in reality you are bouncing around the country calling people who signed up for a free basketball at some promotion at a mall and trying to sell them single game packages to a team they have no interest in seeing.
 
I used to want to be an agent.
 
It's so bizarre and cut throat.

Granted I've HAD some good experiences working and interning in sports. It's just rare it gets beyond that point.

The hours are long and you're not compensated for working said hours.

The SPAD degree is an interesting one in itself, it's just the career field after that that's complete garbage.
 
I know a guy who majored in Classics at Oxford who is currently working as a waiter in Fort Wayne.

True story.

Fort Wayne has the most strip clubs per capita in the USA. So at least he has that going for him.

Or seeds as it were.

Went to high school there. Fort Wayne is almost exactly as you probably think it would be but with about 200,000 more people than most people think it has.

Had no idea. Bet you couldn't get jerked off under a hand towel at one.

Only Miami voted against the Raiders move to Vegas. Wish Jimmy had the nuts to do the same. I'm sure Vegas will be great for the Raiders, gotta suck for Oakland fans though.
 
The NFL is fucking garbage with all of these moves.

I hope the Raiders flop massively. Oakland had great fans.

Also wish more owners had the cajones to stand up to this bullshit, but they'd never because one day when they can get more money from moving they don't want to burn bridges. Disgusting.

Good for the Dolphins owner
