Forget performance, all about personality at Turner

Pros

Great perks and discounts; really solid insurance coverage, capable, compassionate coworkers who crave the ability to do their jobs well and receive recognition for it.

Cons

It's who you know, not what you know. Just be aware of that going in to Turner. Make sure you never mention anyone's incompetencies or errors because you become the trouble maker. The in-crowd can make huge errors.... errors that wind up in trade media and ridiculed on line. A less popular person, but more capable person can make a minor mistake, like misspelling a name, and get written up. But the talent can go on air unprepared or just report errors and STILL work there.

Pros

Great peers. The mission of CNN is soul-fulfilling. The technical resources are amazing. The employee benefits are top notch. There are substantial perks like "Summer Fridays" with early closing and extra holiday days around Christmas every year.

Cons

Hard to believe our morale and work environment could plummet so much in just 2 years. From a great team with great management to a disheartened staff led by heartless and pedantic management who lack any real vision or strategy for success.
