USA TODAY Co. reviews

Just about everything else. We're overworked and underpaid. There's literally no such thing as pay raises even though Gannett is almost a multi billion dollar company. Management is so incompetent that they constantly create unnecessary work for everyone cause they have absolutely no idea what's going on; it's so chaotic that they've been making the graphic designers and Quality Coordinators do mandatory OT every day for over a YEAR, including occasional mandatory weekend OT. And we all get paid under ~20 bucks an hour. They laid off 3 entire offices worth of people, some who have worked there for over 8+ years (100% unrelated to Covid) and gave the jobs to a cheap vendor in India where no one can speak English (and are genuinely stupid), thus nothing ever gets done. The graphic designers recently have started to essentially protest. We get constant emails from customers either asking why their ads look terrible or why they never received them because the workload is ungodly. We never get anything done on time because there's too much to do

After Gannet was bought out, the workplace started first by laying off mid tier management, and then outsourcing dozens of art jobs to Mumbai, India. The company started focusing on what they could cut out to save money, dumping more and more work on those remaining. After the buyout as well, artists were no longer offered training. Those few that had been given training were suddenly given twice the workload expectations. There were lawsuit issues as well, as customers who cannot comprehend what they are allowed to do with copyright law, and the artists who also are not aware. Several every expensive lawsuits happened and NO protection in place to stop it from happening again.
