Pros

They had nice facilities - on site gym, beautiful campus, most employees are friendly and helpful, even some senior level employees

Cons

Very difficult to get promoted. Media inndustry having trouble. Managers getting pulled in too many directions and just not enough resources.

Pros

I wish I could think of one. Maybe if they had jumped onto and effectively promoted their online presence much earlier than they did they wouldn't be bleeding from a thousand cuts. Good people on the editorial side.

Cons

I can only give feedback on my time in mid-size markets in the Mid-Atlantic, but if you like working for what I assume were decent salespeople who have been promoted into a level of incompetency (i.e. sales managers,) being forced into unproductivity with needless "sales and goal meetings," no training, descending account lists, print products and packages no one would be interested in unless you're in that rare market where broadcast doesn't dominate, unrealsitic sales budgets, horrible morale, and bad marketing, etc., then Gannett is the company for you.

Pros

It's a big company with lots of resources (relative to other outlets), a good attitude toward employees, and an eye toward keeping and promoting young employees.

Cons

The company is making cutbacks throughout its newspaper division, so the future of any reporter within the company feels somewhat uncertain. You just hope if you do a good job, you'll be able to stick around.
