      Very unfavorable to its employees... no 401k match anymore... no innovation whatsoever...

      Pros

      The pros are your coworkers. You are all in the same boat

      Cons

      * In a dying industry.. Print. * Company is always looking to move work offshore at any opportunity. * Benefits are horrific. They just stopped 401k match. Health benefits are a joke. * Leadership is such a joke that they move everyone to a new building and they do not even have the forethought to think about not having enough space for parking! I worked at RR Donnelley in technology in leadership for quite a few years. My entire career has been about innovation with focus on team building. In the years I was there my focus was to build systems to reduce cost and headcount. I watched not only as we closed plants, but also benefits and healthcare were cut. In fact, now 401k match is no longer available. What a joke. There are so many opportunities out there in IT... so many places for talent to go and get compensated fairly. I would not ever recommend anyone in IT ever work for Donnelley... you can go elsewhere and get 30% more money and 1000% better benefits. You get what you pay for RRD, enjoy. RRD thinks about cutting costs and saving money, upper management pats themselves on the back, then realizes later that they did not think everything through...

      Pros

      A temporary paycheck until you find something better

      Cons

      Low wages, no sick days (yes, you read it right), formula for accruing vacation days that is difficult to figure out, if you work off-site main office doesn't know you exist, lousy health benefits, lack of communication throughout the company, absolutely no recognition for work well done, no bonus, no upward mobility, and an insulting pay raise

      Pros

      If you have zero experience in the field you're looking at, they will hire you. That doesn't mean you're guaranteed any proper training - that is dependent entirely upon who your manager ends up being. But if you're looking to make a career change they can give you the requisite industry experience to get there.

      Cons

      The reason they'll hire people with no experience is because the entire business model is churn and burn - people, contracts, vendors, it doesn't matter. There's no effort to create a good working environment or a long-term culture because the entire organization is an extraction of wealth to management. The company is a giant grift. There's no long-term viable model, so they're pumping all the money out of it they can before they sell off all their assets and contracts and cash out. Management is terrible - but, again, the point is to keep the cash cow alive for as long as possible with as little investment as possible, not create a functional business. If you're there, you're there for immediate returns, not for a long time.
