Ideal for college grads

Pros

Good job for college graduates; you're able to network a little and expand your portfolio. The Des Moines location has a modern and spacious layout; employees get a decent amount of space at their desks/workstations. Casual dress code (jeans and t-shirts are okay.)

Cons

Wages aren't competitive at all, and there are practically no pay raises. Upper management do not care about keeping their employees happy and respected. Gannett Corporate will also change their benefit providers several times a year to cut down on costs, so employees are stuck with terrible coverage. There is a lot of mandatory overtime throughout the year, but that's normal in the world of publishing.

Not much for room advancement. Pay wages are low and are not competitive to the current job market.

Pros

Good pay, benefits and a professional approach in the workplace. Company filled with hard-working people, and there are a lot of opportunities.

Cons

Like any large company, there are politics at every level. You have to play the game to get ahead, and if you are too realistic and honest, you will not fit in.
