Pros

You’re surrounded by great people, who are extremely talented. (Unfortunately they are being led by managers who do not appreciate or value them.) Good PTO policy. Beautiful facility. The mission and values of PBS and WCNY are very appealing.

Cons

Management is the most abusive and toxic group of people. Those in the management positions got their jobs not because of experience or expertise, but by nepotism and poor leadership from the top. Instead of leading, managers boss the employees around, using fear tactics and threats of termination to ensure results. Extremely high turnover rate. People are fired, let go, and terminated every few weeks. Everyone works in fear for when they will be next on the chopping block. Many talented people quit to escape the toxic environment created by the senior leadership. Poor work/life balance. The numerous off-hour events that are mandatory for staff to attend or work means you are constantly working weekends and after hours. The lack of flexibility and inconsistent policy on flex time only builds the frustration staff feels about being forced to work these events.
