CNN Employer Reviews

CNN WAS A GREAT PLACE TO WORK BUT WHEN WE GOT NEW MANAGERS IT WAS NOT

On a typical day as an intern, I would work on various different projects. I would assist in breaking news and also prepared for breaking news. I escorted guests that were scheduled for on-air interviews. I job shadowed different producers. These are just some responsibilities I took on with the company.

I work very good with my c0-work and I was also a training and it is a great place to work but when it comes to manager it scene like they don't like to really help u

Management was proactive by supplying resources to skills training and promoted cross discipline development.
One of the most enjoyable yet high stress places to work.
Coworkers were all professional and we meshed as a team.
With four floors and seven studios to take care of, getting from one point in the building to another does keep one fit.
As the – more... facility was basically in a 24 hour production mode, the hardest part of the job was balancing the tasks to the schedule and the length of time to get services done. – less

The people were energetic and super nice! They made me feel at home right away.

i would recommend this company to any job seeker. its just it didnt fit my schedule for my family

1. Monitoring news, reporting news, translating article, attending press conferences, interviewing people, spokesperson, setting up the schedule for my producer
2. What I have learn: Journalism daily basis responsibilities
3. Management: Media Broadcast
4. My co- workers is very cohesive and helpful
5. The hardest part of the job; pitching new story – more... to my producer
6. Attending press conferences and reporting news – less

This is just one client I work with. MNN/ a division of CNN is just an online presence.

Really enjoyed working there and meeting some very talented and interesting people.

It was expected that we were to always look our best to represent the company well. Personal issues were to be left at home and hid behind a smile. I have learned that no job has less value than the other in a successful business.My co-workers were well manned and quite easy to work with. The most enjoyable aspect of this job was the satisfaction i – more... would receive at the end of my shift from completing every task to the very best of my ability. I must add that i am a positively competitive person and challenge myself to what most would consider the "Impossible" – less

During breaking news or important life changing events it was challenging and alot of fun.
the hardest part was working on overnights for over 4 years.
the most enjoyable was when big things were happening and the place was buzzing.
it was a great experience and i learned alot of different aspects of the news biz.

The office environment allowed for relaxed work. I tended to get to work around 9am and stay until 6pm. I worked in the Sale Operations department and learned what goes along with setting up commercial breaks. There are a lot of conflicts that go along with setting up these logs, but I ended up in charge of a whole log by the time I ended my intership.

CNN is big on technological advancement in news production. They also give great benefits and compensation. This is where they excel. Where they are lacking is in their management style and lack of loyalty to their employees. CNN is a revolving door. Do not expect to be there 20 years or more. If you are, then you have done some major brown nosing or – more... sold your soul. Why do I say this? I can not count how many amazingly talented people were either let go, made to feel their job was in jeopardy or were fired for bogus claims. CNN goes through people way too frequently. You are given responsibilities that are gradually increased until you are either burnt out or overwhelmed. There is a lot of misdirection and finger-pointing when mistakes are made. There are also many golden children who can do no wrong, sleep at their desks and still get a paycheck.
For those who do an exceptional job and get great feedback from those they serve (I include myself in this), you can expect negative feedback from managers who are looking to save money in raises or wanting to give themselves raises or promotion of titles. Titles, I have never seen so many titles and chiefs over so few Indians. Well, I can go on and on but my fingers are starting to hurt. One other thing is that there is retribution when managers do not like you. CNN may say it is an equal opportunity employer but that is a crock. – less

It has been a wonderful experience. I enjoy coming to work every day.

Pretty good place to work for...There is a lot of pressure doing live real time TV...

As an intern for the public relations department under the management of Jennifer Dargan for a year, I gained an immense amount of knowledge of PR. I was able to get hands on experience and be fully immersed in the workforce. Tactics learned will forever follow me throughout my career. I look forward to returning as a permanent employee.

I'm a publicist for CNN. I currently work for CNN and I secure press.

CNN was a joy to work for, mainly because of the people and the dynamic/challenging projects. It must be noted that they are truly a 24 hour organization and when big breaking news or emergencies arose, personal time could take a hit. But all in all, it was an exciting environment to do development within.

While CNN has seen distinct evolutionary changes in the cable news environment and continues to face challenges, the editorial, production, and operations people are committed to doing their utmost and remain the organization's greatest asset. My experience was one of increasing responsibility in managerial roles, while driving for competitive, high-quality – more... news production. To my good fortune, I also had the opportunity to help others develop and improve production value.

Motivated young journalists have historically had an good opportunity to develop at this organization through exposure to varied tasking and the mentoring environment that prevails among the majority of staff. – less

I enjoyed working at CNN immensely. It is a very prestigious company, and I worked amongst a lot of great talent. It has a work atmosphere that is fun and vibrant.
