Pros

Advancement, pure and simple. I recently left my third Gannett location for a new position. It was my third promotion and I guess that's the best thing about working for Gannett....advancement potential. Despite a horrid economy there are still opportunities within the company. Financially the company has held its own in the economic crisis. It hasn't been knocking at Congress' door for a bailout even though it's stock price has tumbled. It is an innovative company, attempting to balance core products with new businesses that fit the brand. Management does a decent job of communicating ---- even the bad news --- and I have always felt that my small voice could be heard.

Cons

These are very challenging times. There have been numerous job cuts and product cuts over the last 18 months. So too have their been changes in our benefits program, some good and some bad. But I blame this on the recession. Fact is there are things companies have to do in these times. For me, the company has treated me well for the last 12 years.

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.
