Pros

CNN is full of bright, passionate people and truly incredible journalists. The company offers great benefits and, at least on my team, there is a supportive and open atmosphere that makes this place a joy to work at.

Cons

Lots of hours. It's news. It's stressful. But we are here because we love it. My manager was initially very poor at explaining my job requirements. I took me longer than I thought necessary to get into the swing of things.

Pros

Very professional environment. Innovative in digital and invests in content. Family oriented. Very good health insurance / benefits and excellent 401K options.

Cons

Not much growth opportunity for careers - people tend to stay in the same position for a very long time. Work force lacks diversity. The financial compensation while not the lowest in the industry could be better.
