Pros

Its reputation proceeds it -- there is a halo effect just by having the name on your business card. The magazines are generally first rate products respected by readers. The pay is pretty much top of the line for journalists, and the travel budget seems endless.

Cons

There seems to be a sense of: As long as the magazines look good and sell ads, no one cares how happy employees are. The cultures inside the different magazines vary widely, and some treat writers and editors with respect while others clearly do not. And the technology choices made by CN's IT department are, to be kind, baffling.
