Gannett Employer Reviews

They talk a great "game" but when it comes right down to it, it is all just that - talk.
The hours are night time come in at 10 pm work till 4 then return at 7 am and work till 10 to get your whole 8 hours in.
Have to use your own vehicle and they pay mileage but training is non existent, management is clueless with no actual hands on "anyone there – more...  seen undercover boss" nope did not think so.
Job descriptions are vague and inaccurate. Nepotism abounds.
In order to get full time pay must work night shift till 4 then return to get your other hours, and management could not make a schedule if thier lives depended on it. Who works two grave yard shifts and then works a 7 am shift - REALLY

Always hiring and everyone you meet is 'former employee" bonus sometimes but it works on trickle down theory – less

Through the years at the newspaper I learned to use the computer for accounting data entry and accounts payable and billing. My bosses were very fair and educated and the co-workers friendly and helpful.
I enjoyed auditing, billing and check processing in the system.

The nature of our work in the Content Production Center and our place in the production of newspapers is such that we have no incentive to value our work because we receive almost entirely negative feedback from the upper echelons in the chain of command. Any positive feedback is generalized and insubstantial. The workload can be unrealistic at times – more...  and the distribution of work is consistently uneven. Local management invests little in office morale and particular supervisors blatantly neglect tasks and shirk responsibilities onto other team members. – less

Let me start of to say, the job itself, advertising sales was great. While there were long hours, you had a flexible schedule. Working with local business was very satisfying.

Gannett is a completely reactionary company that has lost focus on the future. There are constant change to structure, philosophy, tactics, etc. I once had 5 offices in less – more...  than 2 years. Management so focused on current numbers that is lost focus on bigger picture. They lost many long term deals over little things that if the company could have changed would have made them more money in the long run.

Now, on a local level, I loved the staff. Anyone non-management was absolutely great to work with. It's amazing how such a disfunctional company could keep such a great staff. Also, while benefits were cut time and again, the package was still good in my opinion.

Some words that describe Gannett: understaffed, under-appreciated, and overworked. Pay freezes, vacation restrictions, commission cuts. – less
