Pros

There are no pros at CNN

Cons

There are so many layers of Management nothing ever gets done properly, and the chances of promotion are slim. When I was hired at CNN it took 2 weeks to get an email address and 2.5 months before I got my first paycheck. HR and payroll didn't seem to be phased by it and didn't care that I couldn't pay my rent. The company truly does not care about an employees life outside of work.

Pros

Nice location. Nice building. State of the art equipment.

Cons

Had a very hard time moving to a different department. Had to work 2 jobs at the company for over a year before finally being able to make the transition. HR and hiring managers don't take chances on internal employees.
