Pros

Good salary, great benefits, and there is prestige with having CNN on your resume.

Cons

Growth is mostly discouraged, just not overtly. You are encouraged to "stay in your lane," thereby stifling creativity and any desire to contribute to the team, outside very strict job descriptions. Ideas are seemingly encouraged, only to be shelved because the encouragement is lip service.
