Pros

Working in a broadcast field means that for the most part you do not take your work home with you. The people who work there are, for the most part, passionate about what they do and committed to making CNN the best it can be. CNN offers generous benefits and PTO.

Cons

CNN is run in a very top down manner, meaning if someone is above you in the company hierarchy, they usually get their way regardless of whether they are making the right decision or not. This probably applies to many large companies and not just CNN. CNN's salaries are on the low side.

Pros

benefits were compatible or in some cases better than other television networks. encourage growth and offer many ways to improve.

Cons

no long term planning and within the news environment, your life needs to be very flexible. Some areas are very easy to move up within the company, others are not.
