      Pros

      Great vision and great implementation back when I left in 2008. Management was very supportive of employees and their growth. There was a lot of money to be invested in quality employees.

      Cons

      Personally would have liked some cross training for employees so those on the administrative side could get some broadcast and journalism training as well as show the journalists and head honchos how much work went in on the administrative side to make the place run so well.

      Pros

      the quality of journalism; the opportunity to work on large, national stories; the quirky mix of hard news and features; the low-key, casual atmosphere and emphasis on balancing work/family life

      Cons

      the organization is very top-heavy with lots of managers and senior producers; decisions about who is promoted can often seem arbitrary and based more on personal relationships rather than merit; there is little feedback on one's performance; and people's experiences really varies depending on which show/desk they work for and who they report to
