Pros

If you are energetic, motivated, driven with great work ethic, please keep reading. If you're looking for a place where employees are valued and your opinion matters KCTS Television is the place to be. Focused on innovation, community and their employees wellness, friendly environment, family atmosphere. Employee moral is important to KCTS Television/ Crosscut Senior Management and their managers. If you're looking for a non-profit public media organization that serves its community, with great work atmosphere, look no further Cascade Public Media (KCTS Television and Crosscut) is the place to be.

Cons

Everyone is different and no one is perfect, there will always be negative comments just like there are positive ones, it's called LIFE; you live long enough you'll hear plenty more. However if there's one negative opinion I can share with a prospective employee it's traffic... Mercer Street mess! Welcome to Seattle ;-p

Pros

Overall, this is a pretty great nonprofit org in Seattle and team members feel valued and generally have a balanced workload and appreciation of work-life balance. This org has Summer Fridays, where Friday afternoons are off in the summer. Everyone gets a free unlimited transit pass. People are friendly and everyone feels invested in the work that they are doing. Many employees have been with the org for 5, 10, or more years--and those people are some of the best colleagues I've encountered. It really says something that the org retained these wonderful people.

Cons

The org has a history of being a bit siloed and very heavy on top-down management, which the culture is only beginning to change. Sometimes it seems like decisions are made in a bubble amongst the exec staff and when announced there is a shock to the rest of the staff. Also there is a feeling amongst employees that in general salaries and annual salary bumps may not be fully keeping up with inflation and the market rates amongst peer orgs.
