TEGNA Compensation Employee Reviews

What is the best part about your compensation package?

Fair structure for sales with uncapped income potential

They cut benefits after I paid for them, mentioned they were reinstated but I am still not covered.

My 401K and the Company Match.

Review from Communications Dept

good benefits and holiday pay, overtime

The health plan is good

Base salary was good but bonuses hard to achieve

Benefits keep improving every year. They really are trying to make everyone happy. Probably one of the better benefits package in local media. No one in local media should expect Google benefits, but TEGNA is definitely above the rest.

Review from Communications Dept

The HSA option for medical bills and savings

Why do you feel undervalued and what would make you feel better about your compensation?

to not dictate pay based off of age, but contributions to the newsroom

Yes I feel undervalued. I would feel better with 3 rounds of tequila.

I feel undervalued because I AM undervalued. Paid significantly less than my male counterparts AND paid sognificantly less than people In the same role at other stations in the same market. Non-compete clauses allow them to get away with this. TEGNA likes young cheap labor. No skill necessary.

Never be satisfied with the kffer

A wage that would allow a decent quality of life would be a great start. Not being punished for leadership failings would also help. No chance for even the best workers to earn fair raises.

Freedom to do my job

It’s a corporation, they don’t care about you. You’re out, and a new one co

Review from Communications Dept

Review from Marketing Dept

Worst benefits ever in my career and some of the most petty coworkers
