Pros

"Well, what are you askin' me for?" Perfectly illustrates the communication style at G/O Digital. There are snacks in the break room and candy dishes all over the place. If it's your birthday you get a balloon and gift card to Starbucks. You have a schedule, but let's be honest, no one will hold you accountable. Culture used to be amazing but we still have seasonally events and for the most part many people participate.

Cons

Unless you are a true "self starter" look elsewhere. Training is basically nonexistent. Political red tape hinders you from doing what's best for the client. Always. Try asking the same question twice. The answer will always differ. When it's your work anniversary you get a balloon but no gift card to Starbucks. Very behind digital marketing trends. It's embarrassing.

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.
