Pros

Tegna provides limitless opportunities for recent college graduates or individuals new to the business. The company strives to build a media empire using Multimedia Journalists. This will provide you with the ability to participate in a multitude of jobs.

Cons

Tegna is not a company that values it's employees long term. They specialize in hiring young an inexperienced employees when it comes to broadcast. Out of all of the media companies Tegna is the least competitive. Their pay scale is at the bottom. The pay is better in higher markets but they trail the other stations. Tegna is the broadcast company that split from Gannett. They are still trying to figure out where their place is in the media landscape.

Pros

Flexible work environment - hybrid

Cons

Heavy workload, way below market compensation for the amount of responsibility, very limited advancement opportunities & uneven workload distribution among teams. In my experience, leadership made repeated statements about promotion opportunities in career growth that ultimately did not materialize. I felt that expectations were set that weren’t followed through on, which made it incredibly difficult to trust leadership. Transparency and follow through on career development could be significantly improved.
