Wonderful place to work
Jan 8, 2023 - Copy Editor in Atlanta, GARecommendCEO ApprovalBusiness OutlookPros

CNN New York Editor Producer - Assistant Editor
Jan 26, 2023 - Video Editor in New York, NYRecommendCEO ApprovalBusiness OutlookPros
Great company where you can work your way up from interning to various roles. Culture was very open for sharing knowledge and skill. Management was open to cross training
Cons
CNN Plus shutdown costed a lot of good people their jobs. Favoritism I suppose just like anywhere else is at play for specific advanced training. Being such a large department of editors, it's easy to get lost in the mix, looked over, and just being someone that can fill the needs of a schedule, while asking to gain more experience and skills.

Finding work/life balance could be tough
Jan 24, 2023 - Writer/Producer in Atlanta, GARecommendCEO ApprovalBusiness OutlookPros
Best place to work in news in Atlanta. Competitive pay for the industry, great company benefits.
Cons
Finding work life balance could be tough if you work in an editorial position. Unlimited PTO structure is a challenge when show teams are short staffed. A lot of shakeups with layoffs and new management direction.

Experience in the Image+Sound Department

I enjoy the size of the team and the flexibility of our work schedules post-pandemic. The management staff also makes an effort to go above and beyond to ensure that we have the resources needed to excel.
Cons
I'd like to see more of an effort to build a stronger sense of camaraderie and interdepartmental connections.
- Former Employee, less than 1 year★★★★★
Pros
Talented, dedicated people who support each other and work hard together.
Cons
Sad to see CNN+ shut down with so much promise ahead.
- Former Employee★★★★★
A lack of stability and vision in a company deeply embedded in the past
Dec 19, 2022 - Vice PresidentRecommendCEO ApprovalBusiness OutlookPros

Cons
The place sucks the life out of you so is the salary really worth it? No, not really.
