Pros

Superb benefits and fantastic co-workers.

Cons

Leadership from the very top is flawed and too hungry for ratings. Credibility is the victim.

Pros

TONS of vacation days; honestly, your experience here varies by the network and department that you work in.

Cons

The professional culture isn't the best. There can be a disconnect between managers and employees. Sometimes, people take themselves and their jobs too seriously and can think very highly of themselves.

Pros

I spent many years at CNN. Great benefits, great co-workers, managers that cared, great growth opportunities. Now things are different, so I can't speak to it currently.

Cons

the hours. You must be passionate about the news and willing to have "floating" hours, stay late, come in early, etc. as necessary
