Pros

Storytelling, being able to connect with the community, most employees want to work as a team, working with long time journalism professionals

Cons

TEGNA has resorted to cutting costs at all corners, and forcing its tv news stations to hire inexperienced people. This bogs down the time of colleagues, who are already trying to keep up with the cheap equipment and sub par technology

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.
