      Pros

      Great people to work with. Great benefits. Still lots of opportunities to advance.

      Cons

      Struggling to adapt to the new realities of digital news. How to keep a cable audience and revenues while transitioning to an online model. 24 hour schedule can be hard on work life balance.

      It all depends on what division you're in...

      Pros

      Benefits - including time off, 401K, health insurance, etc are absolutely world-class. Pay is average to slightly above average. Annual bonuses are generous. Overall, Turner is a fantastic company.

      Cons

      Professional development opportunities are very hit or miss - depends on what division you're in. Some areas make it a priority, some see it as virtually unnecessary. VERY little focus on talent retention. Layoffs tend to come around every fall, some years much worse than others. VERY top-down approach. Employee input isn't really valued.
