Pros

Pay is good if you stay for long enough. Benefits are good. The amount of PTO is insane...though, it has to be to make up for the unpredictable work life.

Cons

A thank you instead of obsessing over the clock would be appreciated. You're paid for being present, not your expertise or skill. Work-life balance can be difficult. Schedules change frequently. While there are some truly great managers, far too many are inept, incompetent, or just petty micromanagers. Certain technical areas are managed by people with no understanding of the job. As such, expectations are weird or just absurd.

Pros

Great for resume. Global audience.

Cons

CNN never promotes. It's not what it was. This management is all about profit and that hurts quality. No work life balance. Lots of racism.
