Cozy at the beach

Account representative

Recommend

CEO approval

Business Outlook

Pros

I've been at the beach for six years now and while the business is challenging the company is at least attempting to make things better. It's a tough economic environment, as it seems we have a lot of challenges, but at my level and in my job management has been good and reasonable. It is a company with a wealth of promotional opportunities, locations in lots of great places, and in my humble opinion some very fine managers.

Cons

Business is not like it was in the heyday, so we are always looking for ways to cut on the expense site and find new revenue. It's hard, because the advertising environment is difficult. But in my role at my location it's okay.

Gannett is not nimble enough to weather the current storms

Section editor

Recommend

CEO approval

Business Outlook

Pros

There aren't a lot of alternatives in most Gannett markets. If you are geographically restricted as to where you can move you can ride the one horse in town or wear out your shoes walking into different industries. Having said that Gannett has not yet driven all the good people out, but slowly and surely they are drifting into other industries - disallusioned with the direction of the company and the outlook for the industry.

Cons

Top management is far too slow to react to market changes - "great ideas" happen in reaction to market and culture changes (sometimes years later). Initiatives that are embraced from the top have sometimes been languishing in the "ideas bin" for years. What will it take for the people at the top to wake up, shake up and get going?

Big job ahead of us

Manager

Recommend

CEO approval

Business Outlook

Pros

Gannett is a financially stable company with a history of making the most of a lean environment. That suits the company well for the trying times it is in. There are so many changes going on in the media environment, and Gannett is poised to continue to be a player when others fall off the wagon.

Cons

The business stinks. How else can you put it. There isn't a lot of good news in the media space as so many others are nipping away at what has done so well for us in our history. That leads to long hours, work and more work, and less flexibililty as the company grapples with a down environment.
