Pros

Anything over 40 hours is paid overtime which is huge, although overtime is limited by budget. Work life balance is great, and flexible schedules are available. Some people work 9s or 10s to take every other Friday or every Friday off. The work can be challenging and interesting at times. Coworkers are very friendly.

Cons

Starting salaries are probably lower than private industry average. Upward mobility is in many ways limited to the amount of time you have worked there.

Pros

Effectively taught every aspect under the communications umbrella to a more than competent level. Effectively allowing an individual to become a one man media team in terms of knowledge and skill.

Cons

Sometimes leadership can place everything on one persons shoulders, miscommunications lead to large scale rewrites or redo's.
