Pros

Nice people, decent training before you start, good benefits, covered/garage parking, Tegna discounts

Cons

Many cliques in the company, work really hard to not get promoted, felt I was dragged along, a lot of talk about promotions and raises, too many transitions and the company did not handle transitioning from Gannett to Tegna well (TON of layoffs)

Pros

1. The people. Since everyone is at a relatively young age, we all get along really well. We all also have the same thing in common...we hate it there. I can probably count on one hand the amount of current employees that are happy there. 2. They will take literally anyone that is willing to work there, whether they have experience or not. They just need bodies in seats to push buttons. In fact, the less experience, the better because then they don't have to pay you as much. So if you like to be told how to do your job from someone that has no idea how to do it themselves, this is the perfect place. 3. Free snacks in the break room. (Although some are expired). 4. You get to leave at the end of the day.

Cons

1. Lack of confidence in the company or in management. You can file complaints with audio/video evidence of poor management and nothing will be done about it. 2. No opportunity for growth. If you were lucky enough to be provided with an outline of the career path, count your blessings. Make sure you have it documented and signed by both parties. If not, they will claim they never outlined or promised a career path in the first place. 3. Lack of training. Their training program is essentially a 'Sit & Stare". If you stare at the screen long enough, then you might figure out how to do your "job".

Pros

You might get laid off. In terms of actual work it’s the easiest job you will ever have. Oversight is minimal and expectations are low.

Cons

Middle management and team leads are sycophantic and ineffectual. Their sole job seems to be finding new ways to slow down formerly efficient processes. People are regularly “managed out” and any issues are dealt with passive aggressively instead of directly. Nothing can be discussed in confidence. Every “private” meeting you have, be it with management or HR, will be discussed with other employees. It’s a return to a high school social structure including popularity contests, gossip, and sucking up to get a “good grade”. No investment in employee growth. Management would rather award false accolades and pat themselves on the back than actually acknowledge what it is that their employees actually do. Ever seen the movie “Office Space”?
