Pros

Room for growth within the company. Most of my co-workers are a pleasure to work with. They seem to take employee feedback to heart and try to find ways to improve benefits (e.g. making all time off PTO, added health care options, increased HSA contributions to employees and decreased premiums).

Cons

During coronavirus TEGNA is forcing employees to take a week furlough or reduced pay for three months to help reduce expenses and save jobs with advertising revenue down and these being uncertain times. I get it. Everyone needs to do their part, is what they say, and I have no quarrels doing my part for the team. However, a few weeks later they approved paying millions in dividends to shareholders. Can't help feel like my sacrifice is being paid to shareholders now instead of the well being and betterment of the company. We all had to sacrifice, why don't they? Questionable decisions continuing to use some vendors that have failed us. Some operations decisions were not well planned out, causing headaches all around. Hiring some people in management positions without a thorough vetting.
