Pros

Small groups, mom and pop shop. Travel is great. Hockey fans will love the business if you like seeing all the season games.

Cons

It is hard to move up for people of color. No advancement and no training to further your skills. There are silos in every department.

Pros

Same as all mentioned all thoughout people’s posts on here

Cons

Everything is wrong with the Finance Department, so many employees have taken medical leave in the Finance Department in the past few years that I do not understand why HR has not seriously looked into this. To me this is a systemic failure of the the NHL and there leadership, many employees are afraid of any sort of retaliation from a supervisor if you speak to HR (while HR says that should not happen, it does. The treacherous dog I work for did exactly that and then same to me). What is the overall mental condition of the Finance staff that they become so paranoid, anxious, frustrated, and depressed in working for the NHL.

Pros

The medical benefits are exceptional, basic 401k match, pension which becomes vested after 4 years of service. Are able to go to games and concerts. My fellow colleagues are great people hands down.looks great on a resume.

Cons

The Senior Management is horrible especially in the Finance department. You have people who supervise employees and the lack training to supervise people. Basically if you have a high title then you get a staff even if you have never had experience. The NHL should make management training yearly, my supervisor was an extremely immature person who would throw you under the bus to protect herself. Which I find horrible because I could never trust her and we clashed often. Now with Senior Management they barely speak to lower level employees so you can really establish a relationship with them they really only interact with their staff thus any conflicts you have with your direct supervisor you can only go to HR because Senior Management only supports their direct reports which leaves you in a bad place. Your image is tainted and you can never ever redeem yourself. The salary and bonuses are horrible and that is only because it's the NHL and they know people who love the game want to work there and some will settle for anything. There are no employee incentives to get any type of certifications or schooling which is really messed up considering that other departments within the NHL does offer this to their employees. No room for growth for the minions however the favorites always excel and get promoted, big bonuses and the staff get nothing.
