Had its ups and downs

Pros

Nice people, good environment, terrific benefits, good salary for an entry level developer, several nice perks.

Cons

The biography of Harry Quadracci (company founder and father of the current CEO) is titled "Ready, Fire, Aim", and that pretty well sums it up. Haphazard, seat-of-the-pants development atmosphere, and poor effort given to training up new people.

Decent place to work

Pros

I work in the IT department. In general things are pretty good. The work is interesting and the people I work with are great.

Cons

Things have gotten quite 'corporate' since we went public. The feeling I get is that the workers don't really matter to upper management. They say we matter, but the focus is *always* on making the bottom line look good. It's not at all the way the 'old Quad' was. I rarely see upper management or even middle management smile. Most of the time i see a scowl on their faces.
