Flosports

FloSports can be a nightmare of a workplace, at least from the perspective of many former and current employees. While the company promises a fast-paced, innovative environment, the reality is often more about cutting corners and poor management. The culture is heavily micromanaged, with a lot of top-down pressure that leads to burnout, and don’t even get me started on work-life balance—it’s practically nonexistent.

Many employees have reported a lack of proper support or resources, which makes the work environment frustrating and demoralizing. There’s a lot of talk about growth and opportunity, but it feels like empty promises when you’re stuck doing repetitive tasks with little to no room for advancement. Pay tends to be below market standards for the amount of responsibility expected, and even when you do get a raise, it's not enough to make up for the lack of appreciation.

In terms of leadership, the company can be disorganized, with decisions being made on a whim, often without input from the people who are actually doing the work. People are often expected to wear many hats, but without the corresponding recognition or compensation. You can’t talk about Flosports without mentioning how toxic the atmosphere is at times—everything feels like a constant scramble. If you're looking for a supportive, stable, and balanced work environment, FloSports probably isn’t it.

Before I jump into details, I want to say that I loved working at FloSports for the time that I was there. Everybody in the office is great and is as supportive as they can be. However, since I worked on the Live Stream Team, my experience was very difficult and different than the regular engineer's at FloSports. All the Live Stream and Graphics teams work completely remote, which has its pros and cons. The pros are that you can work your own hours and have great benefits. The Cons are the people on the Live Team that I had to work with. There is a very defined pecking order and there is not much space for you to be respected nor individually contribute. You simply have to keep your mouth shut and do what they tell you or the lead dev's will ruin your whole time there. I did not enjoy my experience working with my team due to the lack of support and communication from other teammates. Expect to learn everything by yourself and read minds. You will get wrecked on code reviews because they all have to go through one main engineer and he will want every detail done his way, regardless if your code might have some better tradeoffs.

After working as an independent contractor for FloSports, I was appalled at their lack of professionalism. First off, each day I was told to stay when for 8 hours of the time I was on site I had literally no reason to be there and nothing to do. The job description was never disclosed to me before working for them and a full week after the job was done, I was informed that I would need to wait for accounting to give me a Concur login to send in my invoice for approval. Once I was finally informed of this, I immediately sent in all the required information and waiting the week (or less) I was promised accounting would need to send me my login info so I could finish my direct deposit set up. 

However, accounting took almost an entire month to even get back to me with a login and only did so after I had to threaten to involve legal counsel in the matter. Prior to this I had sent many follow up emails to accounting as to why I had not received my login information. Once I did receive it, I basically had to do their job for them and fill in information they already had on file for me. 

My time and intelligence are completely insulted by this company and I refuse to associate or work with them in the future.

What is the best part of working at the company?
Working in sports. Free beverages all the time including drinking alcohol on the job and free food a couple times a week.

What is the most stressful part about working at the company?
The management while I worked there was the worst management that I have ever worked for in my entire life. The goals that I had to achieve were impossible to obtain. 

What is the work environment and culture like at the company?
If you don't get along with the right people, they will make your job impossible to do.  Producers determine who they want to work with and it really has zero to do with skill and more to do with personalities. 

What is a typical day like for you at the company?
Management threatening you on a daily basis. The majority of people have never actually worked in a real sports environment.  This is more of a tech company who does sports and they don't care about the quality of content, just doing more and more of it, whether it's good or not.

Dream job opportunities with free lunch on Tuesday's. Lofty goals under people who don't know exactly how they got in their position. Trickle down shames stemming from odd egos and salty attitudes. 80 hour weeks no question. 90 if you're trying to kind of get ahead. Worked every day of the week for my time at FloSports. I worked from the moment my eyes opened to the moment they closed. Never really had the opportunity to make friends because Everyone is so incredibly gassed with all their tasks don't even think about asking for help. Management in this company means worrying about yourself, your goals and who to blame at the right moments to save your booty. 

Describe your experience at FloSports in one story: Once my manager made plans to attend a volunteer event, they didn't show up and I walked out of our bonding/volunteer event with three emails from them ripping me apart for a job they never had time to teach me.

The typical work week would be Wednesday-Sunday depending on the event you're working. It wouldn't be out of the ordinary to work 6 weekends straight. There's not much of a training program and when I asked to create training material for new hires, I was kind of shrugged off by management. You get to travel the country and see places you probably wouldn't on the company dime which is pretty cool, and that comes with a large time commitment that can really upset work-life balance. In the end what led me to quit was a lack of support while on the road. I'd arrive to events and have equipment missing and was essentially given a shrug when telling management. It made work more stressful than it needed to be and it wasn't being solved.

The Engineering team at FloSports is awesome. We work with bleeding edge technologies and focus on driving continuous value to the consumer. The company's focus on results means that we have a relatively flexible schedule with work from home days and "unlimited" PTO. People are easy going and fun to work with. No one on the team takes themselves too seriously. Engineering management believes in modern best practices for work flows, build-measure-learn, CI/CD, blameless post-mortems, demo days, hackathons, and regular career progression check-ins with mentorship, online course reimbursement, and guild meetings on technical areas you want to learn about.

Generally working under the HR Director People. As the human resources coordinator work involves addressing issues raised by current employees and new-hires, organizing and scheduling orientations, and coordinating other HR functions such as training and development. The hardest part of my job is on-boarding only because its done differently. Changes are done the last min and hire dates are moved frequently and suddenly, which can create chaos but it definitely gets keeps you on your toes. You definitely learn to flow with the punches.

Great people work at FloSports. Output demand is very high, while compensation is low, with no signs of change on the horizon. The culture is awesome from a social perspective, and political from a business perspective, in certain departments. People are very open and willing to help/collaborate. Because FloSports is in the growth phase, you will be a jack of all trades - great for skill development. FloSports provides high quality health insurance for a reasonable price.

FloSports has the vibe of a startup in that the senior leadership team is chaotic and insecure. There is the facade of a relaxed culture but depending on who your manager is the work environment can be stressful and unpredictable. The company is trying to practice inclusivity and non discrimination but they have a long way to go to topple the bro culture that runs deep in the organization.  Bombastic men advance well in this organization, others have to be twice as good to keep their heads above water.  Professionalism and experience are  not valued.
