Pros

Let's face it, media is changing fast and is in the middle of a shake out and transformation. Lots of local stations look/sound the same and haven't changed in 40 years. That's ok people are used to it and like it, but this company is at least trying to get ahead of the curve and innovate even if it's awkward at times. If you have ideas...they will listen. I've pitched tons of ideas and...some are getting picked up and the quality of stories and storytelling is going up. I truly believe if you are getting into this business or you have been at it awhile your ideas will at least have a chance of taking off. Many other station groups are trying not to rock the boat and ride the gravy train to it's ultimate trip off a cliff. Tegna is trying to adjust quickly to avoid that.

Cons

Bad health care plan has been mention before and yeah it's not very good. As new stuff is getting tested it can be a jolt to audiences some may never come back. Lost a lot of seasoned talent recently.
