Pros

Large company that still matches a portion of 401 contributions. QuadMed clinics if you work near one.

Cons

Vertis employees are being phased out because they don't fit the 'mold' of what Quad expects, though their performance and skills are better than the dumbed-down Quad equivalents.

Pros

Teams collaborate to share ideas and knowledge. Ideas are very well received and there is always a positive form of feedback. Everyone is always working towards changing the company for the better and growing together.

Cons

Tripling in size over night and continuing to grow worldwide can be challenging to keep up with, but the future is looking very bright and exciting!

Pros

Not many. I worked in the pressroom at the original plant for 8 years, and it went from great to horrible in that time span.

Cons

I never met Harry, but I am positive he is spinning in his grave at what the company has become. Nobody is appreciated. The first round of layoffs saw new people, and old-timers being let go with an "exit interview". The floor managers made a point of walking them out past all machines so they could wave goodbye to their former co-workers. Quite classless. Soon came the acquisitions, and the "valuable" managers had positions created for them in order to retain their jobs. Meanwhile, the workers were left to sweat their bags off and burn up vacation pay to make ends meet. Even took away the $5 cafeteria gift on your birthday. Direct supervisors were very cold, with an, "if you dont like it, there's the door" mentality. Today it is a land of desperation and misery.
