      A fun environment for serious content.

      Pros

      People are friendly (including talent), a great view from the cafeteria, networking is encouraged, some people are really willing to help. Interns are paid minimum wage. Internship orientation was good for networking with other interns.

      Cons

      Sometimes I felt useful, but others I felt very useless. A few of the media operations staff are intentionally very rude to interns, though many of them are quite nice.

      Pros

      -- Coolness factor of working for such a well known organization. -- CNN.com is a part of Turner Broadcasting which is a great organization. -- They are hiring which allows for resume building and entry into a great company (but make sure you read the cons below).

      Cons

      -- I've worked for TBS for over a decade in various divisions. CNN.com has always been busy but the last three years have been unbearable and I see no signs suggesting this will change in 2012. In my opinion, the SVP of CNN.com who started three years ago is the reason. He embraces a burn and churn environment. The company is doing well financially but employees burn out and leave quickly. There has been massive turnover in the last 12 months. I suspect that quality will begin to drop shortly due to new employees and established employee burnout.
