Pros

Great brand, many smart and wonderful people and teachers of journalism, in fact some of the best hands on journalism and production experience you could get. At entry to producer level you will learn so much. Good pto structure.

Cons

Endemic lack of interest in or focus on promotion or retention. After producer level many stagnate for years, being passed over for opportunities by external talent. The messaging around internal promotion, development and retention is 'we don't need to', presumably because it's assumed so many people want to work there that focusing on those who do is not necessary. Also while very top management are generally wonderful, some hardcore unprofessionalism and hugely unwarranted ego are rife at the level below
