Pros

Salary, bonuses, time off, and flexible work from home scheduling. After 3 years, you get an additional 5 days off. CNN is growing their digital/social teams, so there are opportunities to work with some of the best in the business.

Cons

Despite growth in digital/mobile/social, other support departments like research don't grow as quickly, and promotions come slowly. In addition, mediocre team members bring down the rest of the pack, burning out others who could advance the department.

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.
