I'm not sure why people lie and say this company has heart

Pros

Many employees are really bright and have a lot of heart. It is saddening to see them reporting into such an incompetent "leadership" team.

Cons

Tim Fagan the CEO is really a moron. He doesn't know what he's doing and even the most junior employees know it. It is clear that his bosses at TEGNA are equally inept since they haven't cut bait and thrown this idiot out on his butt.

A terrible company to work for

Pros

Great people to work with. Some really smart people are stuck here while G/O Digital circles the drain. Enjoyable working here but no job security and horrible health care.

Cons

No leadership whatsoever. The CEO is incompetent and most of the VPs live in their own little bubbles. It is a shame, the CEO took over this company and is incapable of running it. We have changed direction numerous times under his reign. I won't say under his leadership because he is not a leader and doesn't have the intelligence or vision to lead.

Pros

decent benefits,,,if you stay 3 months (most don't)

Cons

Horrible management, in the past 6 months the majority of management has either quit or been fired. In June they laid off 60% of the sales force, including many people that just left good jobs to go to work for G/O! I would never tell anyone I worked there, the few sales people left are looking for jobs,,,,if you have any other choice for a job, take it,,if you want to get a check while your looking, go for it Please don't sell anything to anyone you know, the lose nearly 80% of clients in the first 3 months
