Pros

It is NPR and if you're a NPR geek you THINK you've found nirvana. Not so much.

Cons

An organization still in flux. Trying to figure out how to survive not thrive. NPR and station relationships frought w antagonism and "old ways." On both sides.

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"
