      Pros

      It's an exciting place to work. News is always changing and CNN has resources around the world to help tell stories. Pay is good - much better than in local news. Benefits are great - healthcare, time off and 401k matching are excellent.

      Cons

      High stress and very demanding. Editorial staff puts in a lot of hours outside of work via email. Management seems to like to hire from outside instead of promoting from within. There are some internal promotions, but most come from outside CNN or from other departments within CNN. Career management is up to the employee. Not much mentoring and few managers will be looking out for your future. There are some supervisors/managers who try to help, but most just take care of themselves.
