      Pros

      Some of the friendliest, funniest, most welcoming people in the radio news business. Everyone truly loves what they do.

      Cons

      Management is painfully inept. Company lost dozens of employees, many of them people of color. Poor editorial judgement. Racial and anti-Semitic incidents in the newsroom that went unanswered by management. Everyone is spread so thin because they keep hemorrhaging employees. Used to be a wonderful place with an important role in D.C., now it's just sad. Plus, the pay is atrociously low.

      Pros

      Family-oriented, friendly, I've made a few friends there.

      Cons

      There' not much room to grow. I feel like this is a dying industry and they didn't know what to do about it. Some of the folks who have been there for longer say that in the past, this used to be really something but now it "feels like a factory job" (that's an exact quote). I don't think morale is all that hot, and I don't know anyone my age who thinks this is a place to build a career. I had to have a second job just to make ends meet.
