Pros

Nice office equipment. State of the art Macs and tablets.

Cons

Months and months in a row of unending mandatory overtime with promises it will stop with no follow through. They make you make up any vacation or sick time, plus add on up to 16 hours of overtime a week on top of it. Some of the lowest wages for work, based on the bureau of labor statistics.

Pros

The base salary is slightly higher than sales jobs with many other companies. Commission payouts are very good, but only if you are able to exceed your sales quotas--which is nearly impossible sometimes. There is a lot of talent hiding in Gannett, but the opportunities for advancement and development are limited, so turnover is pretty high for certain positions. The opportunity to work with a variety of different business owners and decision-makers in the community keeps the job interesting.

Cons

The training period lasted a total of seven days, leaving new employees severely underprepared for the chaotic work environment of their new position. Despite the lack of training, new employees are expected to perform at the same level as someone who has been with the company for a long time. The recent cost-cutting associated with the "New Gannett" spin-off has led to reduced quality in product offerings. The combination of unreasonably high sales goals combined with reduced resources has created an atmosphere of tension and animosity. Great talent is often hindered by management that is focused solely on meeting sales goals at the expense of employee happiness. Despite putting in long hours and a lot of hard work, it does not pay off in the end. The failure of management to fill open positions leaves fewer employees taking on more work for less pay.
