Gannett – “Could be worse. Not much worse, but worse...”

Pros

As a large corporation there is some security. Not much, but some. This is a dinosaur of a company that's big enough to exist for maybe another decade. Some benefits are still kind of decent. It also takes a long time to make any decision, so if you want to work here and slack off, you'll have plenty of chance before anyone bothers to fire you.

Cons

Corporate-think has infected every level of the company. Innovation comes in the form of buzz-words and executive pet projects instead of real ideas. Hard work is never rewarded, but successfully playing office politics is. My supervisor is the most worthless person i've ever worked with.

Advice to Senior Management

When you need to make cuts, get rid of the fossils running the place first.
