Pros

Great vacation policy, well known brand, access to tons of editorial resources

Cons

TOO MANY COOKS, very political, hard to move up, growth into other positions is frowned upon, new ideas and dissent are not allowed, all decisions come out of New York (but don't say that aloud, or you'll be told otherwise)

Pros

Great for resume. Global audience.

Cons

CNN never promotes. It's not what it was. This management is all about profit and that hurts quality. No work life balance. Lots of racism.
