Business Outlook
Pros
NPR practices high quality journalism and has the best professional standards in radio. Salary and benefits are commensurate with positions. Employees in all departments take great pride in their work. .
Cons
NPR is slow to implement change due to a heavily bureaucratic culture. Senior managers seem more concerned with creating the appearance of change rather than implementing real change. Department heads tend to be authoritarian and unyielding. Everyone seems more concerned about their own department than the network as a whole. Lack of coordinated focus. NPR preaches diversity, but as a workplace it is not friendly toward people from minority groups, who tend to be marginalized or written off.
