Sacramento-Kings

This is a great place to get a foundational knowledge of the NBA and working for a team. However, while there appears to be room for growth, HR has put a stop to all senior titles (senior account manager, senior director, etc.) so it will take much longer to progress. Also, as much as they tout that they don't do the "sports discount" when it comes to pay, the Kings are far behind other teams in paying their staff based on their whole background and not just what they've done at the Kings. There are some managers that are clearly not fit for their role (unconscious bias, flip-floppers, gender-biased) but the organization does nothing to improve these when they are reported. 

• Sell Season Tickets, Corporate Packages, Partial Plans, Group Tickets, and other Ticket products
• Call current and past customers and cold-call new sales leads to generate sales
• Contact area businesses and individuals via phone, in-person appointments and networking events to sell season tickets, corporate, partial plans and group ticket plans.
• Work all home games, performing various ticket sales and service duties throughout the game
• Build relationships to provide repeat business and excellent customer service
• Achieve and exceed weekly, monthly and annual sales goals established by management
• Act proactively to create opportunities for new business with existing customers
• Provide superior customer service to clients throughout the season
• Miscellaneous duties as assigned by General Manager

The Kings should really rename their ambassador position to just "greeter" because that is basically all you do. They put you outside near the security gates to greet the guests and to remind them to take their cell phones and keys out of their pockets before going through security. During the 3rd quarter, they make us go pick up recyclables from the fans in the bowl. Afterwards, when everyone gets in, you stand by the doors to say goodbye to guests who leave. Occasionally, they would need you as a  wheelchair pusher for guests with disabilities or make you do crowd control. Overall, their job description is extremely misleading. Ambassadors are basically greeters and trash collectors. There is also no opportunity for growth since everyone acts like they're in high school here.

While working for the Sacramento Kings, I was given the opportunity to self manage my daily and weekly schedule. While management outlined goals and areas of focus with deadlines, we were responsible for planning out how we allocated our time to achieve our goals and meet deadlines. 

The most difficult part of the job was dealing with the various uncertainties that came with working for the Sacramento Kings at that time. The franchise was faced with a potential relocation and endured an NBA lockout. However, working in a professional sports environment was a great pleasure. It made coming to work exciting because you were constantly surrounded by a fun and emotional environment from both fans and employees.

I worked most events sometimes one after the other I was always there on time I had a good rapport with the guests. I was there over five years. I dealt with all kinds of VIPs the elevator that I ran was the VIP elevator so there were all kinds of dignitaries that I dealt with I also assisted the disabled people and I had some people that only wanted to ride with me. I would love to find something the elevator I operated also where our security the epeople and staff came and went they had to deal with all types of situations as our lock up facilities were also in the areasimilar.heryounomoved to Las Vegas that would be similar

Finding work-life balance is nearly impossible despite the company outwardly promoting it -- granted it is professional sports. Hourly employees are discouraged from working overtime and required to be there during the summer when not in-season and taking back some time for the "work-life balance" would be nice. Not a ton of room for promotion, no career definition so you can see your chance at advancement.

I thoroughly enjoyed my time with the Sacramento Kings. My management team was wonderfully supportive and helpful, my coworkers welcoming, and the job tasks I was assigned were appropriate for my skill level and fun to perform. If not for the pandemic, I would absolutely still be working for this organization. 

I truly enjoyed this job. I like sports and this position allowed me to pursue sports. I would create player interviews with local and national media and also with the coaching staff. I would also provide statistical analysis for player production and give these stats to the front office

Worked pre-pandemic before some of the restructuring. Was overall a unique and fun experience. Pay was low and felt like my work didn't matter as much to the overall business, but enjoyed the culture of the company for the most part. A lot of good people at the Kings outside of top management. 

I loved my time at the Sacramento Kings  I believe job responsibilities and clarity of expectations have been modified over the past couple of years, with positive management changes  
Having a dedicated, strong and caring female CEO was fantastic
