      Pros

      Consistent pay, opportunity to pursue other positions within company, plenty of PTO days, good 401k packages and healthcare, beautiful workplace, latest technology available

      Cons

      very clickish with every team, a lot of stress and pressure to perform without error, job security is often insecure with show cancellations or layoffs, constantly understaffed-thus one person does three people's jobs.

      Pros

      There's nothing like a daily, live broadcast environment to train you to think and write on your feet. I have seen talented colleagues rise through the ranks, and hard work is appreciated.

      Cons

      Working in the news doesn't always allow for much creative freedom, and the pace can be a grind...but that's the gig.

      Pros

      Very smart, dedicated coworkers. Excellent benefits, great PTO from day 1. Great office location, easily accessible from anywhere in the city.

      Cons

      Growing pains because of evolution of the traditional news business; they’ve got a smart team but are not keen to let them innovate. Many experienced and talented people have left in the past 2 years because of the clicqueyness and favoritism of middle managers. Promotions are handed out in the same manner, so some who have been with the company a long time but can’t manage themselves out of a paper bag are now people managers and it has spurred along the higher turnover rates. HR managers are lackadaisical and unprofessional; that’s probably what chases away the external hires, because only the lifers are sticking around at this point.
