If you like company emails about things and people you don't need to know you will love this place. Work life balance can be achieved.

No appreciation for journalists or the communities they serve. Management-created teams that focus on making themselves feel important. No job security. Low pay. No on-site tech support at most locations. Company merger means nobody knows who is in charge.

Doesn't RecommendNegative OutlookNo opinion of CEOI worked at Gannett full-time

None at this time. Layoffs are going on since the merger and will continue beyond what is being communicated in the news. Departments with overlap will be hit, as well as, departments that have not centralized operations in the Gatehouse properties.
Cons
Management's lack of vision. No work-life balance. Extreme micromanagement. No growth opportunities.
