Pros

Tegna is one of the few broadcasting companies that is buying instead of selling. I have no real worries about the long-term future of the company.

Cons

Company-wide stations are moving toward scrapping "traditional" newscast and opting for more "creative" options. The results, however, have been bad.

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.
