It all depends on what division you're in...

Pros

Benefits - including time off, 401K, health insurance, etc are absolutely world-class. Pay is average to slightly above average. Annual bonuses are generous. Overall, Turner is a fantastic company.

Cons

Professional development opportunities are very hit or miss - depends on what division you're in. Some areas make it a priority, some see it as virtually unnecessary. VERY little focus on talent retention. Layoffs tend to come around every fall, some years much worse than others. VERY top-down approach. Employee input isn't really valued.

Pros

Work-life balance is pretty decent for a news organization

Cons

Their onboarding is horrible, it's a very disorganized company. No discussion between different divisions or different departments. HR and Higher ups have no idea what is going on.
