Cons of working at Gannett
More responsiblilty is dumped onto the workers and there is NO compensation for it. You will absolutley never receive a raise while working here regardless of how great of a worker you are and how much revenue you generate. Comission is capped so no matter how hard you work, you will always make the same amount of money, if not less because they will randomly throw new account at you, making goal higher.The benefits that were given while in the office (ie. gift cards, coffee, team outings) completely disappeared when working remote began.
