Pros

Good salary, great benefits, and there is prestige with having CNN on your resume.

Cons

Growth is mostly discouraged, just not overtly. You are encouraged to "stay in your lane," thereby stifling creativity and any desire to contribute to the team, outside very strict job descriptions. Ideas are seemingly encouraged, only to be shelved because the encouragement is lip service.

Pros

Great work environment. Amazing people. Amazing work. Flexible time off. Fulfilling job if you are interested in anything news released.

Cons

Hours are unreliable but a social workplace makes it all manageable. Hours also depends on what show you work on so that all depends..
