Pros

Access to some of the latest technology as well as professionals working on the bleeding edge.

Cons

Management is abysmal. Digital has experienced a large amount of turnover and management hasn't been held accountable. I find myself trying to both get releases out the door while also having to manage the MULTIPLE managers I have to contend with on a daily basis. On top of that, the higher-ups claim that they're making an even greater investment into Digital (web/mobile), however, if they don't clean up and better organize their current managerial roster, what's the guarantee that the environment will actually improve?

Pros

Great for resume. Global audience.

Cons

CNN never promotes. It's not what it was. This management is all about profit and that hurts quality. No work life balance. Lots of racism.
