Pros

-Extremely high-energy atmosphere -Everyone is friendly and approachable -You feel like a valued member of the team. The internship program requires interns to work in groups to develop an idea for a program/app/resource that CNN doesn't already offer, and high-level officials — including Jeff Zucker — attended the presentations at the end of the internship. This showed me CNN not only appreciates its interns, but takes us and our ideas seriously. -NETWORKING. So many talented people here. I was able to schedule a one-on-one meeting with Chris Cuomo just by talking to his assistant -Free coffee and tea all the timeeeeee

Cons

-The excessive use of the "Breaking News" banner -The commute to the city became a little tiring, but I also wasn't willing to spend the money to live closer!

Pros

Parent company, Turner, offers great benefits - lots of vacation time and even days off for volunteering. Standard 401K, health, dental, vision.

Cons

CNNI management simply does not value it's employees. They pretend to want their opinions on editorial matters, day-to-day newsroom matters, and even the future of CNNI - but it's all for show. Middle management is just plain immature.
