Pros

built-in audience, opportunity to report on interesting stories, great benefits and salary

you're beholden to reporting on what's trending/popular, very political focused even if that's not your beat

Pros

other than saying you worked at CNN...nothing

Cons

worked like a dog, shady and selfish managers, diseases spread in old tiny hallways, hour long tours full of racist and rude customers, lot of unorganized loud school field trips (do not get paid enough!) back to back tours, perverted security officers go on tours with you (officers need a mental evaluation before going on these tours), BROKEN elevators, not respected by upper level employees in company when you guide tours by them, huge disconnect in communication between security and tour managers, unprofessional back office for tour guides, no help in moving on to better positions although advertised as so in hiring. complete mess of a 'department'
