Pros

The CNN brand is respected by most. Those 3 letters hold weight. It's been a pleasure working at one of most respected names in news, breaking news namely. The benefits are great - opportunities for self & professional development, health insurance, discount perks, screenings, swag, etc.

Cons

I would say being overworked is a common thread of working here. Even with all the perks and opportunities offered, you may not have time to take advantage of them. This also makes it challenging for those in certain positions to move up or around the company.
