Gannett Outlook Employee Reviews

What makes you most happy at work?

Keeping busy with problems to solve, very busy.

Seeing the product come off the press

My independent contractor and subscribers

Our audience & the ability to impact their lives.

Being creative and the people I work with.

Doing journalism that makes a substantive difference in my community and being respected by others in the community.

I enjoy the team I work with daily. Not only is my supervisor very supportive but the other teams members respect the co-workers in our group. We enjoy working with each other and sharing the work load to each job done in a timely manner.

The ability to be myself, and having others appreciate the value that I bring in my area of expertise.

Time to reflect about life.

Review from Operations Dept

Helping and supporting others dailyy

Review from IT Dept

Working on a team of wonderfully engaged co workers and leaders

What's going wrong and how can it be improved?

Poor communication, decline in product and service.

Our readers don't believe our paper is even based in our community any more. And the company has gone out of its way to make that impression worse.

Review from Product Dept

Lack of leadership abs lack of a plan.

They lost track of what's important. They need to look deeper into customers

price is awful, service is awful, communication is awful

Very poor district manager and poor customer service from Gannett publisher mainly because there's no one that speak English

There is a lack of a clear vision and goals. No one seems to know what direction they should be going in.

Bosses and executives that care about the papers and the small towns and not just the numbers

It was a great place to work, but the last decade has made the company not feesible for a future. It is a newspaper company in a digital market that has eliminated all customer service.

The company is sinking. Morale is what you'd expect at a place where most people have not gotten a raise in 3+ years but the top executives have paid themselves handsomely.

Review from Marketing Dept

People don't like all of the changes (customers and employees)

Review from Sales Dept

Management needs to be more transparent and involved in the thing that drives the most revenue.

Review from Sales Dept

If the culture doesn't improve it will be impossible to retain and get new talent. At the current pace of Gannett, I see nothing positive in the future.

Review from Sales Dept

Better compensation for work and better relations with management

Review from Operations Dept

What do you like best about your company?

The company has invested in me financially with a fair, generous salary and PTO. The company also has provided me with out-of-state training at national conferences, and it has given me the freedom to pursue investigative stories.

The diversity it offers and the variety of people I get to interact with on a daily basis

What would you most like to see improved at your company?

Larger raises to employees who produce excellent work. Too often those at the top of the pay scale are told the company cannot afford to give raises or more than 1-2 percent because it needs to use the raise pool to help lower-paid employees, who in my opinion do not do similar quality work.

Overall communication, not only between departments but on company goals as well
