GateHouse Media Employee Reviews for Anonymous Employee

"I worked at GateHouse for over 20 years as both freelancer and multimedia journalist."

"I worked for The Daily Ardmoreite (Gatehouse Media), from July 2016 to May 2017. It was a challenging position due to the newspaper had a poor reputation, within the local business community, due to what some considered a poor return on investment and high advertising prices. They were beginning to get into online advertising and doing SEM & SEO campaigns, for their clientele. I spent the majority of my time overcoming objections from business as to why they wouldn't advertise in the paper anymore. I was able to win some of those clients back and sign them to advertising contracts for 6 months to a year. The atmosphere was laid back and the coworkers were great to work with. If you like challenging situations then this is a job for you."

"A great place to work if you are just starting out or still in school. The managers are great and the work is good. The work is not always exciting but it is fairly consistent. Everyone there is really nice and are more than willing to help you if they have time. It is a fast paced environment and very deadline driven. I loved working there but wasn't able to move with the company when they transferred to Austin, TX."

"While GateHouse Media values its employees, the compensation does not match the job. I was hired to be a digital coordinator, but I have since designed and sold full advertising campaigns with no compensation and have taken on the responsibility of 2.5 jobs with no pay increase. Their unwillingness to properly pay their GOOD employees is going to force them to close their doors one day."
