Fox Sports Employer Reviews

Typical day consists daily reports to our director, checking up current workflows, projects and meeting with producers/directors/management heads to ensure a dependable and successful department. In addition, complete all daily tasks as well as set up meetings to ensure proper up to data date materials relating to our workplace.

A typical day at work consists of coordinating the daily production functions at Fox Soccer Channel. From putting out production packets for our in studio shows to booking associate directors to games we broadcast.

I've learned that details are a big key to making sure everything flows well. Having the specifics down makes things easier in the long – more... run. They keep you ahead of the game and the problems out of our hair.

By observing my managers I've noticed how important it is to have a solid relations with people. In the end most of anything done the world is people working with people. Being able to adapt to someone who might make things difficult is very important. Handling personalities, when to push them, when to let them be, are all keys to running a successful business.

It's important to work with people you enjoy being around. Being able to trust that your coworkers will perform the job up to the correct standard takes a load off one's shoulders.

The hardest part of the job is having a multitude of assignments to worry about. It's not necessarily hard as much as it has to do with time management. Very important to give yourself enough time to handle different parts of a production. I've learned to not spread myself to thin as your work will show that. Prioritizing and planning accordingly are musts in my line of work.

The most enjoyable part is to see our productions running smoothly on tv. Anything we do has a final product, and our shows are basically it. – less

The company was decent.
The average day as a facilities tech was much like a facilities tech anywhere else. The day was spent doing preventative maintenance, replacing light bulbs, and fixing the occasional piece of equipment that stopped working.
The main downside was the severe lack of advancement potential. The only way I could have gotten any advancement – more... would have been if my boss retired or left. Even then, there would be a decent chance of Fox hiring outside the company. – less

SportsNow, a department at Fox Sports in The Woodlands, is a excellent company to work for. I have thoroughly enjoyed my time there. The management and co-workers are top-notch. I did work "freelance" therefore did not receive any benefits, but there are other departments that have do have benefits. Overall I have enjoyed my time there.

Great place to work with great atmosphere. Great team environment. Very fast paced.

Interning at such a great place was very educational and motivational
for a young editor such as myself.
