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 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.
