Pros

The place to work if you believe in the mission of public radio. Great people, creativity and thinking outside the box are encouraged. Union shop and great benefits. Hope the union stats strong.

Cons

Funding and station relations always an issue. Hope the new CEO stays for more than two years

Pros

Beautiful building, gym and clinic downstairs and an affordable quality cafeteria. Clean work space. Kind people and live music usually once a week. Predictable hours mostly.

Cons

Tough to stick here. Heard stories of people temping for years before getting hired on. Can be a sticking point for people who need consistency but not a huge deal to me.
