Pros

I spent many years at CNN. Great benefits, great co-workers, managers that cared, great growth opportunities. Now things are different, so I can't speak to it currently.

Cons

the hours. You must be passionate about the news and willing to have "floating" hours, stay late, come in early, etc. as necessary
