CEO approval

Business outlook

Pros

Nice people to work with and nice benefits - generous vacation, and great coverage for health benefits with very little cost deducted each check. 2-3 days work from home each week.

Cons

Wages are ridiculously low for San Diego. Low performers aren't held accountable. Good people are leaving for better opportunities and the future of KPBS is uncertain with no federal funding anymore.
