      Pros

      As much overtime as you want to work available due to short staffing. Healthcare is a step above what is available through ACA.

      Cons

      Management believes their own line if BS from corporate on down to the local level Google "everything is wonderful Gannett" for a good laugh and then pity those of us currently employed by these million dollar yahoos. Antiquated equipment being kept running with bubble gum and string. Low pay, long hours, total disregard of personal life needs of the line level employees by management and really bad kool-aid. Ken Kesey, where are you?

      Pros

      Drink the kool-aid and you'll be fine.

      Cons

      These past two years have been so awful that many TEGNA station newsrooms are unionizing. Low pay, low morale, rampant bullying and a poor management team at the top are the common factors. They're quick to encourage you to try something new, but run away when you step on too many toes. They also love to fire people for no ethical reason. They are loaded with poor management and are horrible judges of character. They also host the worst healthcare service and coupled with low.pay and rare raises, you end up losing more money year. They care nothing for their employees and often employ intimidation.
