Pros

You work at CNN, it's great. Busy all of the time. Great people and different departments you can learn from.

Cons

Pay is bad, no benefits until you get hired full time. It's hard and VERY competitive to move up. The DC Bureau is too small.

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.
