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.

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.
