Pros

The CNN brand is respected by most. Those 3 letters hold weight. It's been a pleasure working at one of most respected names in news, breaking news namely. The benefits are great - opportunities for self & professional development, health insurance, discount perks, screenings, swag, etc.

Cons

I would say being overworked is a common thread of working here. Even with all the perks and opportunities offered, you may not have time to take advantage of them. This also makes it challenging for those in certain positions to move up or around the company.

Pros

It used to be a respected name. At the time I had very fair bosses and a really rewarding experience. Unfortunately those people are no longer there.

Cons

It is no longer a respected news source and has been become the laughing stock of the news industry. It is unfortunate because they used to set the bar of what the news should be.
