      Pros

      CNN is a great company to work for. There's a lot of creativity and flexibility. The brand is so well known everyone flocks to CNN so you get to meet a lot of really great people and cover really great news stories.

      Cons

      It's hard to move up. You can hit a glass ceiling pretty quickly and that ceiling can choke out some really good talent at the bottom.

      A little of the overworked, underpaid phenom but with flexibility, it helps with work/life balance

      Pros

      Great exposure by working at a big network company and there are plenty of opportunities to move around within the company itself. Because of its size, there is a certain amount of access to resources that would be less available at smaller firms.

      Cons

      Because of its size, it's easy to get swallowed up and not recognized at a high level for some very good work being done.
