      I worked at Gannett full-time

      Pros

      I loved working for Gannett. It was the best company to start my IT career in.
      They were supportive of all my educational goals.
      Without their help I could never have completed my degree.

      Cons

      The furloughs were tough in the beginning. But I actually learned to like them. The furloughs doubled my vacation time and gave me 9 day holiday periods.

      Advice to Management

      Keep promoting from within

      I have been working at Gannett full-time (Less than a year)

      Pros

      I say this in total honesty - this is the job I've been looking for. Management is caring and understanding. They help you every step of the way when you need it. The training programs they have get you to where you want to be in your career. Gannett is a very open environment that's laid back and comfortable. I'd recommend working here if you have the chance.

      Cons

      I only have two real picks, and they're not huge at all. The bathrooms are way too small for how many people work here. Also, the water machines are awful. Other than that, no complaints.

      Advice to Management

      Keep doing what you're doing. You're all great coaches and you keep doing great every day.
