Pros

Worked at CNN as an intern and it was probably the best learning experience ever. The employees are extremely willing to answer questions and share their knowledge. Anyone is accessible if you aren't afraid to reach out.

Cons

The minimum wage pay. When you move across the country to intern, you should be paid more than $7.25/hr.

Pros

Work-life balance is pretty decent for a news organization

Cons

Their onboarding is horrible, it's a very disorganized company. No discussion between different divisions or different departments. HR and Higher ups have no idea what is going on.

Pros

Decent pay once you progress to a certain level. Good benefits

Cons

Culture encourages the absolute worst in its employees. Behaviors that would get you censured or fired in other positions are mandatory to advance here. Like to treat a fellow human like a piece of crap, stab them in the back, and scream in at someone in place of your own competence? This is the place for you. Also, don't plan on retiring here, you'll be removed and replaced by some kid out of college is you make too much. And perhaps most importantly, the final product is simply terrible.
