Great staff, poor management

Pros

People, Experience, working in the news

Cons

Appalling management, all journalists who've crept up the ladder and not professional Managers. For an organisation that's about diversity and global storytelling it's almost farcical how many white people they have on air.

Pros

Diverse teams and friendly coworkers

Cons

Support for those discriminated against who speak up is non-existent and which goes against what the company claims to represent. After losing a prior contract due to workplace bullying and discrimination by a former VP, I started at CNN thinking I would be at less risk of this type of behaviour due to the fact I had previously worked for parent company, Turner, who had a strong policy on allowing people to speak up. After my managers becoming aware of my case within 1 week I was relentlessly bullied by my boss to attempt to undermine my abilities, and within 3 weeks was fired for 'not having the right characteristics'.
