Pros

Branded, that's all Nothing else that's positive Got to write 20 word

Cons

Poor on boarding. Bad culture. Colleagues not willing to help at all. You got to fish in the sea for every piece of information. Work as a swear shop, 9 am to 10pm.

Digital growing at a breakneck speed

Pros

Salary, bonuses, time off, and flexible work from home scheduling. After 3 years, you get an additional 5 days off. CNN is growing their digital/social teams, so there are opportunities to work with some of the best in the business.

Cons

Despite growth in digital/mobile/social, other support departments like research don't grow as quickly, and promotions come slowly. In addition, mediocre team members bring down the rest of the pack, burning out others who could advance the department.
