      Not perfect but close enough

      Pros

      The title may be a bit misleading. Here's the meaning. A short time after I started working there I said to myself I could retire here. The atmosphere was kind and good. The pay could be better. But the benefits were very good. The location was perfect. I enjoyed nearly every day I went to work. And when I left I was as deeply troubled as a person leaving his loving family. Frankly I didn't want to go.

      Cons

      There is a Us and Them mentality between NYC and Atlanta. It's unfortunate. At a Sr level, Atlanta restricted growth and became petty when I raised the bar and/or over performed. My actions lead to a Peabody Award. Their actions where disheartening. And I truly wish the us and them was never an issue.

      Pros

      I've worked in major market post production for 20+ years, and in 2015 was lured into relocating to Atlanta at my own expense for a job as a CNN "Editor/Producer." Biggest mistake of my life! (No exaggeration.) When Time-Warner slashed the budget in 2014, many of the senior managers were axed and replaced with newbies, who didn't have a clue about the day-to-day operations of the departments. The result has, in many cases, been a shamefully disorganized approach to hiring new people. After I started the job, I was forced into a role that had little to do with editing, and LESS to do with producing. My discussions with management about this were a complete waste of time, as they were totally inflexible. As a result, the talents for which I believed I was being hired went completely un-utilized and I was miserable. I left after a 8 months and never looked back. My disgust over this episode is only exceeded by my relief at being out of CNN. Beware of this organization. They used to have their act together.

      Cons

      (See "pros." Everything is there.)
