      Pros

      The CNN brand is respected by most. Those 3 letters hold weight. It's been a pleasure working at one of most respected names in news, breaking news namely. The benefits are great - opportunities for self & professional development, health insurance, discount perks, screenings, swag, etc.

      Cons

      I would say being overworked is a common thread of working here. Even with all the perks and opportunities offered, you may not have time to take advantage of them. This also makes it challenging for those in certain positions to move up or around the company.

      Pros

      I was given a lot of responsibility, very quickly -- more so than I've heard one gets at other television news organizations. The bureau in which I worked was growing fast, and anyone who showed any competence got promoted within a short time.

      Cons

      The flip side to the Pros -- fast growth, lots of responsibility handed out -- is that sometimes someone is given more responsibility than they're ready for. If you have to work with someone like that, you'll find yourself picking up their slack. But again, if you see that as an opportunity, it's not really even a Con.
