Pros

There are no pros at CNN

Cons

There are so many layers of Management nothing ever gets done properly, and the chances of promotion are slim. When I was hired at CNN it took 2 weeks to get an email address and 2.5 months before I got my first paycheck. HR and payroll didn't seem to be phased by it and didn't care that I couldn't pay my rent. The company truly does not care about an employees life outside of work.
