Pros

Do you want to work for a company that "puts its employees first", is "innovative", and has a "clear vision and company direction". Then don't work here, TEGNA has none of those qualities. You're just another number on a spreadsheet, and if it any point you are no longer beneficial to the corporate bottom line & it's shareholders you will likely be laid off

Cons

Very low pay, even lower job security, but hey Dave Lougee might comp you $100 on christmas if he's feeling generous! Don't think I can reiterate enough the extremely poor corporate leadership and strategy. Tried to apply the same business strategy for 5-6 years after the split with Gannett and their solution was layoff after layoff.

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.
