Pros
The mission of the Media Research Center, to expose and neutralize liberal media bias, is important, and the department primarily tasked with carrying out that mission by monitoring and analyzing the news, does an excellent job. The average employee is young, and building professional bonds (and even friendships) with coworkers is easy.
Cons
In one word: culture. MRC's president and founder rules the MRC with an iron fist. Dissent and devil's advocacy are discouraged. The vice presidents, including ones who are quite talented (especially the Marketing VP), are all relegated to yes-men status who see their roles not as advancing the mission of the organization, but as fulfilling the president's every whim, no matter how unreasonable or counter to previously agreed to strategic goals. The president has built a successful company with a noble mission, and should be credited for that achievement. But his lack of humility and autocratic managerial style often lead to ad hoc decisions that undermine both the mission of the organization and strategic imperatives. The president and his executive VP, while both approachable, friendly, and if you get to know them, quite nice, rule through fear and intimidation, discouraging senior management from "managing up," and fostering an environment that eschews constructive criticism. In short, MRC violates some basic rules of good management, including discouraging constructive feedback at the macro level and treating the president's every whim as beyond reproach. This in turn spawns all kinds of perverse incentives, including cultivating phony metrics that ostensibly satisfy the president's wishes, but effectively measure nothing.
