Lehigh Valley IronPigs

I applied for this internship because of a recommendation from someone who was a GDI before. Going in, I already had a couple of different internships working in game days and was familiar with how things would be on a game day. Personally, I didn't think there was enough work to do during game days and GDI's are limited to only one area during a game. The work that is given also isn't very difficult and what I would consider to be cheap labor. For example, they have a good amount of interns working in the concessions stands because those areas don't have enough people, yet working in the stands isn't really going to teach me a lot about how staff runs various operations during games. Supervisors also don't really interact with the intern staff that much. Its hard to build o=working relationships when the higher up staff only talks to you when they are giving you an assignment. Overall, I would not recommend working here as a GDI if you've had previous experiences since most of the work is basic and easy.

I worked two jobs while with the IronPigs.  One job was as a game day intern in their broadcast booth.  For this job, I recorded every pitch of the baseball game to be recorded for statistical records.  This entailed me keeping score and entering each pitch electronically at the same time.  My other job with them was as an on air radio intern.  I sat in the control room at the radio station and worked with the controls for going into commercials, coming out of commercials, and I then I did post game live on air after the games and took caller questions and chatted with another on air personality about the game.

Upper level management operates the office like a tyranny. Everything they do is a power move so you can feel worthless and small. If you ever get anything positive from them, it's to use as leverage for a later time so they can hold it against you. 

They fully expect you in the office when it snows even though they'll tell you to use your judgment and if you don't feel safe don't drive in. When you choose not to drive in they'll tell you the roads were fine and then take away one of your vacation days.

Everyone there lives in fear but at least you really get to bond with your co- workers over surviving the very toxic environment. 

* Making 60 outbound calls a day with weekly performance meeting in the off season.
*Mixture of outbound calls and emails as well as game day responsibilities during season.
* Great upper management and ownership. Take great care of employees.
* Young hard working front office staff with in a good slightly laid back environment with a decent amount of joking around and having fun. Although, it can get a little clicky at times.
* The hardest part of the job is the relentless long hours during the season where its common to work 10- 20 days with no day off with no overtime and little pay.
* Best part of the job is the environment and the perks.

Honeslty only worked here because my mother made me. Poor tips, and managers don’t know what their doing. Everything is disorganized  and they are always understaffed. It’s hot and unpleasant. Only good thing is a free hotdog and drink in the beginning and even that you’ll get sick of pretty quickly.

It's such a great summer job if you're looking for a few hours. If you're in high school or in college this is the perfect job for you. All the employees are so fun to be around and the managers are wonderful. I absolutely loved working here and I would love to go back if the money was better.

I had a great time working at the IronPigs. The staff was vet friendly and helpful and guided me on the right path, so I was able to work efficiently. It was a great first job for me and I was able to find a balance between school, work, family, and friends when I worked for the Lehigh Valley IronPigs.

A decent option if you're a college student who can't find an internship. As long as your expectations are not too high, you shouldn't be too dissatisfied with the internship.

Everyday you are doing something different. You get to work with the promotions team, in the ticket office, in the press box, in concessions, etc. By doing this, you get to experience how a minor league baseball team is operated from numerous departments.

If you are looking to get your foot in the door in regards to sports sales and marketing, look no further than this team. This place is a blast to work with and the front office staff truly feels like a team. Everyone is treated with respect and hard work is recognized. The only downside is the pay and lack of commission on sales.
