Pros

I've worked for a good bit of FORTUNE 500 Companies, and TEGNA is an ideas company! The leadership encourages big ideas and purpose supports vision to really make a difference. You have to be a self-starter, and the work is not always defined, but its a place that you can change the landscape of your discipline and feel like your really leaving your mark. Very impressed with the CEO and Senior Leaders. CEO is not as visible but has a strong focus on community and employees. CEO is a woman, and is all about empowerment, keeping your head down and working hard. Leadership offers many opportunities to take on new work, and allow anyone to be strategic no matter title. Great Company - in 2 years I've learned more than in 10 years at past large companies.

Cons

Long hours, work not always defined, and have to be a self-starter and aggressive to get ahead and drive ideas forward. Not enough communications from Leadership Team, we want to hear more from them, see them more.

Pros

Flexible work environment - hybrid

Cons

Heavy workload, way below market compensation for the amount of responsibility, very limited advancement opportunities & uneven workload distribution among teams. In my experience, leadership made repeated statements about promotion opportunities in career growth that ultimately did not materialize. I felt that expectations were set that weren’t followed through on, which made it incredibly difficult to trust leadership. Transparency and follow through on career development could be significantly improved.
