      Pros

      Great brand, many smart and wonderful people and teachers of journalism, in fact some of the best hands on journalism and production experience you could get. At entry to producer level you will learn so much. Good pto structure.

      Cons

      Endemic lack of interest in or focus on promotion or retention. After producer level many stagnate for years, being passed over for opportunities by external talent. The messaging around internal promotion, development and retention is 'we don't need to', presumably because it's assumed so many people want to work there that focusing on those who do is not necessary. Also while very top management are generally wonderful, some hardcore unprofessionalism and hugely unwarranted ego are rife at the level below

      Pros

      CNN and HLN create environments that encourage teamwork and collaboration, but also require individual accountability. For journalists, it is a great place to work.

      Cons

      Well, the obvious downside to working for a 24-hour news network is that many of the jobs are not business hours. It is a sacrifice many are willing to make for the chance to have a career there.
