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.
