Good but not great

Pros

Most of the people that work there are great. Not only at their jobs but also as people.

Cons

Management. There is no reason to hyperventilate about "breaking news" when it's just a car chase.

Not the Best

Pros

Great co-workers, nice location (that's really all I have but there's a twenty word minimum on this site so I wrote this)

Cons

Our dept head was awful- cold, not really into teamwork, hired friends from the outside. Admin staff report to an internal group called NGBA which is a nightmare. This group enables executives bad behavior and will write you up constantly. They work closely with HR (another nightmare) so you're basically stuck with no advocate if your boss behaves badly.

Forget performance, all about personality at Turner

Pros

Great perks and discounts; really solid insurance coverage, capable, compassionate coworkers who crave the ability to do their jobs well and receive recognition for it.

Cons

It's who you know, not what you know. Just be aware of that going in to Turner. Make sure you never mention anyone's incompetencies or errors because you become the trouble maker. The in-crowd can make huge errors.... errors that wind up in trade media and ridiculed on line. A less popular person, but more capable person can make a minor mistake, like misspelling a name, and get written up. But the talent can go on air unprepared or just report errors and STILL work there.
