Pros

I worked for WHAS specifically, but they put out applications at "TEGNA" I can't think of any real pros to working there other than that you will get an insight into how a bottom tier station is managed.

Cons

Awful management both local and national. Corporate it seems cares more about turning a profit than making a good newscast. They also have a policy where they pay new employees less than what their immediate predecessor made.

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.
