Pros
Turner is the only large media company in Atlanta and it knows this. According to local lore it is notoriously hard to get in the door at Turner. It had great benefits as far as I could tell and wasnt as stiff and self-important as Viacom or any of the NYC media companies.
Cons
The HR people at Turner are completely incompetent. From recruiting to career management the HR people at Turner have to be the worst in the industry. I think thats the real reason for the "hard to get in the door" reputation. It has a horrible southern/old boys network feel and much of advancement is based on how well you play that game. People tend to get jobs and stay there for years, which I find weird (but that might be a personal issue).
