small community, friendly
good place to 'retire' your career ambitions
quiet work environment
building is new and that is nice
Cons
very conventional thinkers
station is confused at its mission -- keeps expanding like its corporate
programming was confusing -- more music like a community church radio station, rather than news like an NPR member station
Staff is friendly, professional and believe in the importance of public media and local news. Pay is decent for early-career local news reporters, but don’t expect a raise or COLA anytime soon.
Cons
Organization has been plagued by mismanagement, financial troubles and attrition for over a year. There’s no money for pizza parties, let alone raises. Everyone is doing more work to compensate for unfilled vacant positions, so burnout is real if you don’t set hard boundaries.
