Pros

PBS is a company that you can be proud to work for. Great benefits.

Cons

Department heads do not value their employees at all or give recognition. Many valuable resources have left and morale is extremely low. Slim possibilities of career advancements. Absolutely no communication between internal departments due to internal conflicts from management which creates a horrible work environment and negatively affects everyone's job performance .

Pros

Job was fairly autonomous and relaxed.

Cons

Complete lack of communication from senior management. Decisions constantly made that affect your work by people who fundamentally don't understand what that work is and will never seek input by those who do. Plans regarding media processes and abilities remain secretive until the last moment from employees, channels and partners. Senior management on the media side of things comes off as delusional towards their knowledge and capabilities of the systems they poorly implemented. Would rather take the advice of vendors trying to sell a product than the staff who knows what needs to be done and how to do it.
