      Good, solid place to work, but there are cons

      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 work environment. Amazing people. Amazing work. Flexible time off. Fulfilling job if you are interested in anything news released.

      Cons

      Hours are unreliable but a social workplace makes it all manageable. Hours also depends on what show you work on so that all depends..

      Good but not great

      Pros

      Good benefits (vacation, healthcare, and 401K) and at times interesting work. Potential for positive impact is nearly limitless and President Clinton is exceptionally inspiring.

      Cons

      Obstacles to achieving positive impact are nearly as limitless as the potential, if not more. Senior management means well, but not effective. Majority of junior staff have never worked anywhere else and have unrealistic expectations of what can and should be possible in career development (expectation to get promotion every year, etc.). It epitomizes the phrase "squeaky wheel gets the grease"
