      Company appreciates your work. Generous time off. No office politics/drama. Great working environment. Nice to say that you work for CNN.

      It is Possible that you might have to report on tragic stories. Sometimes, depending on world events your schedule might change at a moments notice.

      Digital growing at a breakneck speed

      Business Outlook

      Pros

      Salary, bonuses, time off, and flexible work from home scheduling. After 3 years, you get an additional 5 days off. CNN is growing their digital/social teams, so there are opportunities to work with some of the best in the business.

      Cons

      Despite growth in digital/mobile/social, other support departments like research don't grow as quickly, and promotions come slowly. In addition, mediocre team members bring down the rest of the pack, burning out others who could advance the department.

      Little to complain about

      Pros

      CNN is full of bright, passionate people and truly incredible journalists. The company offers great benefits and, at least on my team, there is a supportive and open atmosphere that makes this place a joy to work at.

      Cons

      Lots of hours. It's news. It's stressful. But we are here because we love it. My manager was initially very poor at explaining my job requirements. I took me longer than I thought necessary to get into the swing of things.
