TEGNA Employee Reviews about "forward thinking"

Pros

TEGNA is very forward thinking. They treat their employees very well and are very inclusive.

Cons

Many systems and processes could be improved but it is still a great place to work and embrace change.

Pros

Great corporate culture and very forward thinking

Cons

low pay rate and not enough employees

Pros

Company is forward-thinking and wants to remain relevant and take risks.

Cons

Many essential employees are very underpaid for the work that they do. Management is very guilty of favoritism, so don’t expect to be promoted or receive added bonuses by proving your worth through your quality of work. HR is a disaster and cannot be trusted to do the right thing (i.e. investigate sexual harassment allegations). Employees are expected to put up and shut up and fully and blindly trust sales leaders.

Pros

Many attempts at team building. They try to come across as forward thinking. Sales goals are easily met. The station has a solid reputation with viewers. The sales team receives a lot of leads that make their sales goals easy to meet.

Cons

Inappropriate hires. They hire and promote realatives. Not taking advantage of an employee's skill set. Lack of professional development opportunities. Poor quality of internet products and no maintenance once the sale is achieved. Favoritism. Overstaffed in sales and understaffed in news. No accountability for true sales. They rely too much on advertising agencies for new business, very few local commercials are produced for new business. No leadership, no consistency. They lead in the dark and make it up as they go.

Pros

- Collaborative environment; employees are always ready to help and assist each others - Open door policy - Management is open to discussing new ideas and encourages creativity - Welcoming diversity - Forward thinking - Employee centric approach - Great opportunities to learn and make a difference - Nice offices - collaborative work areas - Decent work/life balance - Free parking - PTO is okay and increases after 3 years - Real efforts are made to walk the walk

Cons

So far, cannot think of anything except benefits: could have better healthcare plan and could offer more days off

Pros

TEGNA's focus on purpose, great people and forward thinking approach make them a premiere local content company. They are a large company and value promoting from within so growth is tangible. They invest in the development of their people.

Cons

They operate in very lean fashion which results in not always getting what you need to do the job and in some cases reducing the quality and quantity of employee benefits/perks.

Pros

- Progressive, forward-thinking company with an emphasis on disrupting the old news of yesteryear - Innovation projects in the works with help from current employees nationwide - Very big on promoting from within, transfers from smaller news markets to larger ones; internal growth - Open door policy: Instant message, email the top news VPs any time - 401k match up to 5%!

Cons

- Health benefits are medicore-okay

Pros

TEGNA is a very innovative and forward-thinking company compared to many of our competitors in the broadcast industry. I enjoy working with our consultative sales people who earn the trust of local businesses by tailoring our TV, digital and OTT marketing solutions to business needs and ultimately helping businesses thrive!

Cons

Relatively new brand (TEGNA, formerly Gannett) that still needs to be strengthened in the industry.

Pros

Forward thinking company. Seem to want their employees to be happy and successful.

Cons

Culture varies dramatically depending on what station you work for. Goals are too high and digital partnership currently in place is useless.

Pros

-Forward thinking company leading the way in digital journalism -Great benefits and 401K -Great opportunities to move up fast writhing the company if you are motivated and self-driven

Cons

-They hire cheap and young -Oftentimes you end up doing more than what you’re contract allotted -Low salaries -Low moral among employees
