Pros

It's a company that tends to be more focused on journalism per se...and that tends to keep things professional and steady, not too focused on the immediate, short-term, but more on quality, performance and results over time (both personally and the entire newsroom.) Note, this does not apply to financial considerations with the company.

Cons

Gannett's operations may be focused on journalism, but it tends to be a rather light, less consequential focus. It's brand of journalism is very much 'USA Today;' more flashy and simplistic. It ain't the NY Times. But having said that, it can mean a more serious devotion to 'real' news than many stations in local markets. Less flash and trash, more 'human interest' reporting, etc.

Pros

Career growth through working with a team that is about success - clients and your own!

Cons

No water-cooler chats because of being remote, but this isn't really a con.

Pros

A company that I believe genuinely cares about its employees as much as their clients. Great work/life balance, decent pay, great culture, welcoming and supportive atmosphere.

Cons

Trying to "fix" too many things at one time can lead to inconsistency and feelings of being overwhelmed at all levels. There is a lot of great intent and plans to continue to grow the company and make things better overall, however, sometimes it felt a lot like "pulling at straws" approach where upper leadership would try something impulsively, and not stick to it long enough to see if it could truly make an impact, and many times certain approaches contradicted a previous one for a different area of opportunity. However, it's important to note, that through many moving parts, there was always support offered, and a "safe space" to provide feedback at even entry level roles.
