      Pros

      Good mission and collegial place to work. Excellent news product delivering comprehensive and well documented local, national and international news. Very much needed in a media world where major media companies are cutting back on their news resources. Highly skilled and committed staff.

      Cons

      Disfunctional governance structure has led to an inability to keep senior executives. NPR has had 7 full-time and interim CEO's over the past 8 years which has led to consistent turmoil at the top.

      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"
