Pros

Drink the kool-aid and you'll be fine.

Cons

These past two years have been so awful that many TEGNA station newsrooms are unionizing. Low pay, low morale, rampant bullying and a poor management team at the top are the common factors. They're quick to encourage you to try something new, but run away when you step on too many toes. They also love to fire people for no ethical reason. They are loaded with poor management and are horrible judges of character. They also host the worst healthcare service and coupled with low.pay and rare raises, you end up losing more money year. They care nothing for their employees and often employ intimidation.

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.
