Pros

I had excellent managers and worked on several really cool projects. I was able to have a healthy balance of work and a personal life. And the benefits were good.

Cons

They didn't do a good job of hiring dead weight. It's such a big company that there are cracks in the system and people who do nothing can just stay in their same position.

Pros

CNN/Turner offer exceptional benefits including paid time off and medical/dental, life insurance, and a great 401k match.

Cons

CNN does not respect it's employees and sees them as $$$ and not as people. The work/life balance they promote only exists for upper management.

Pros

benefits were compatible or in some cases better than other television networks. encourage growth and offer many ways to improve.

Cons

no long term planning and within the news environment, your life needs to be very flexible. Some areas are very easy to move up within the company, others are not.
