Pros

Benefits - including time off, 401K, health insurance, etc are absolutely world-class. Pay is average to slightly above average. Annual bonuses are generous. Overall, Turner is a fantastic company.

Cons

Professional development opportunities are very hit or miss - depends on what division you're in. Some areas make it a priority, some see it as virtually unnecessary. VERY little focus on talent retention. Layoffs tend to come around every fall, some years much worse than others. VERY top-down approach. Employee input isn't really valued.

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.
