Pros

Coworkers are smart, dedicated and want to do well. Everyone works hard and is pleasant to one another, for the most part.

Cons

The company has undergone a lot of change over the past few years, but still lacks large-scale vision for its future. Needs to improve, in risk of losing its serious, authoritative voice on news.

Pros

I was given a lot of responsibility, very quickly -- more so than I've heard one gets at other television news organizations. The bureau in which I worked was growing fast, and anyone who showed any competence got promoted within a short time.

Cons

The flip side to the Pros -- fast growth, lots of responsibility handed out -- is that sometimes someone is given more responsibility than they're ready for. If you have to work with someone like that, you'll find yourself picking up their slack. But again, if you see that as an opportunity, it's not really even a Con.
