      Great Benefits/Flexible Work Environment

      Pros

      Great PTO and Medical Benefits including 401k employer contributions, commuter benefits, life insurance to mention a few. Most important is the work life balance options. Some folks work for home as needed others have set days the WFH. Flexible start and end hours. It makes it easier to manage your personal life. Of course flexibility depends on the department you work in and the business needs. Lot's of internal mobility.

      Cons

      There is more travel than I would prefer but this is specific to my role. Also, I was informed of the travel requirements prior to my accepting the position. Too many meetings; weekly, m onthly, bi-monthly. Sometimes I feel like I don't have time to actually get my work done.

      Pros

      I started at CNN as an intern and have stayed with the network since. If you're hungry for opportunities and offer yourself up to various teams, there's a lot of opportunity for growth. The company rewards people who want to learn vs. those who are comfortable coasting. Of course, every team and role is different. The benefits can't be beat - healthcare coverage, gym memberships, etc. Although that might change depending on how the merger with AT&T goes.

      Cons

      As with any job/industry, you do have to put in your time when you're starting out, either as a freelancer or a News Associate. You'll work long, sometimes unconventional hours for little pay. That said, you'll move up quickly within your first year or two and if you hustle, doors will open.
