Pros

Always looking to reinvent or copy new trends to find an audience and make money despite failing almost every time.

Cons

If you like high pressure and empty promises in an ever declining local TV business then this is the place for you. Tegna's reputation for squeezing employee wages year after year has resulted in distrust with management, high turnover and low employee morale. There's very little advancement from within the departments. In my years there I saw only 1 promotion, about 6 demotions and countless firings. (Note: this company loves to fire people). They just had mass layoffs with their digital services division. One of the only companies I know to have layoffs in the strongest economy in years. Most of the people still there are because they can't find anything better.

Pros

It's a good learning experience, hardly can say it's worth it though.

Cons

Terrible management and work load. They'll squeeze everything they can out of you and give you very little in return.
