Pros

You will work with people who will become like family, the company has great name recognition, and you will create news you can be proud of. CNN domestic is well-run.

Cons

CNN International is poorly run by people with no management experience. They promote based on favoritism and nepotism, not merit or quality. Tony Maddox is running CNN International like a mobster, creating high turnover and unmotivated employees.

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.
