Pros

Your manager and coworkers are collaborative and kind. The shared mission of the company tends to unite staff. There is an effort from management to keep people on board rather than doing layoffs immediately. Radio and media is fun to be a part of as an industry.

Cons

There are growing pains as with any organization in the revenue generating areas such as sales.
