Pros
The only positives about Gannett are the INCREDIBLE journalists, making lifelong friends (bonded through trauma) and knowing that if I can get through 1 year at Gannett, I can literally get through anything.
Cons
I could write a novel on why you shouldn't work for Gannett. I've had so many former colleagues who worked tirelessly to meet impossible goals and then laid off due to "budget cuts" but then their positions were reposted the next day. They are the most chaotic, unorganized company I have ever worked for. Every day was constant anxiety. I ended up getting a stress rash because the culture and expectations were actual insanity. Everyone worked SO HARD because we believe in keeping good journalism alive, and the journalists are the best in the industry - but management solely cares about stock since that's a huge part of their multi-million $ income.
