WHRO produces incredible local content on all of its stations, as well as distributes the national PBS and NPR content everyone knows & loves. It is well respected in the community, and strives to be a leading voice in sectors of education, environment, and journalism.
Minpunten
The contrast between the positive public perception of WHRO and what it was like to work there could not have been more extreme. No room for internal advancement, and a massive disparity in earnings of the top tier staff to the majority of the company. They expect folks coming into roles with 5 years exp, but pay is in the $40,000s. They do not provide livable salaries, and simultaneously discourage employees from taking on second jobs - even though those second jobs are vital for employees to make ends meet. Departments are siloed and infighting & workplace gossip run rampant due to a lack of transparency & management seemingly oblivious to concerns. The love of a mission can only take you but so far when your paycheck doesn't cover your living expenses, and management treats their subordinates like political pawns to pit against each other.
