      Pros

      Great Work-Life balance emphasis. Supervisors ensure reporters are only working the hours they're scheduled for, and encourages people to not get burned out. Friendly co-workers and nice working environment. Great benefits too, working for the university has it's perks.

      Cons

      A large coverage area with a small staff means it's hard to cover everything going on in the region. Lots of small technical problems & logistical stuff when navigating university HR. Not a lot of career advancement opportunities because of the small station size.

      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"
