      Pros

      Great peers. The mission of CNN is soul-fulfilling. The technical resources are amazing. The employee benefits are top notch. There are substantial perks like "Summer Fridays" with early closing and extra holiday days around Christmas every year.

      Cons

      Hard to believe our morale and work environment could plummet so much in just 2 years. From a great team with great management to a disheartened staff led by heartless and pedantic management who lack any real vision or strategy for success.

      Pros

      Employees believed strongly in the brand and that imbued their work every day. It was great to work at a company that strived to walk a middle ground, esp in the now toxic, extremist environment of cable television news.

      Cons

      Toxic political environment, senior managers more concerned with the perpetuation of their position and perks than in the development of their businesses. Lack of unity of vision among senior managers and very little desire for cross-pollination. Fearful bureaucracy muzzled managers lest lawsuits be launched against company. Disconnect between preaching and practicing what was preached.
