      Digital growing at a breakneck speed

      Anonymous employee

      Pros

      Salary, bonuses, time off, and flexible work from home scheduling. After 3 years, you get an additional 5 days off. CNN is growing their digital/social teams, so there are opportunities to work with some of the best in the business.

      Cons

      Despite growth in digital/mobile/social, other support departments like research don't grow as quickly, and promotions come slowly. In addition, mediocre team members bring down the rest of the pack, burning out others who could advance the department.

      Little to complain about

      Pros

      CNN is full of bright, passionate people and truly incredible journalists. The company offers great benefits and, at least on my team, there is a supportive and open atmosphere that makes this place a joy to work at.

      Cons

      Lots of hours. It's news. It's stressful. But we are here because we love it. My manager was initially very poor at explaining my job requirements. I took me longer than I thought necessary to get into the swing of things.

      Pros

      Very professional environment. Innovative in digital and invests in content. Family oriented. Very good health insurance / benefits and excellent 401K options.

      Cons

      Not much growth opportunity for careers - people tend to stay in the same position for a very long time. Work force lacks diversity. The financial compensation while not the lowest in the industry could be better.
