      Pros

      Mission-driven, intelligent and curious staff culture that is not overly demanding nor overly political. Local content, not just national content, is important to preserve in USA.

      Cons

      A lot of sub-optimal decision-making because of legit scapegoats in FCC restrictions, or non-profit member station limitations, or Capitol Hill threats, but more frustrating is managers that are too jaded or cowardly to do the right thing and use policies and constraints against getting better.

      Pros

      I was fully remote, learned so much from a great group of peers, the union is strong and active, pay was fair

      Cons

      The federal funding saga put a damper on morale, but that was pretty outside of the scope of what my team/manager could control.

      Pros

      tiny desks happen at work

      Cons

      soulless and corporate, management is all-powerful, benefits are slowly disappearing, few career prospects unless you fit a certain "profile"
