What a let-down!

Pros

They lived for their free pizza days.

Cons

Too numerous to cite. I find this very sad given the historical significance the RRD name has meant to the greater Chicago land area for over 100 years.

OK Company that needs improvement

Pros

Some positives are the people that I work with are wonderful, the location of the plant is conveniently between two major highways for more than one access point in heavy traffic, and the work life balance which is slightly skewed more towards work but it is not so ridiculous that it becomes a con.

Cons

Lack of vision for the future by local leadership Very few opportunities for advancement, which means you will not reach the level to receive a bonus or meaningful pay increases as those are reserved for the executives and upper management. No merit based compensation system in place. This is the first major company I have worked or that does not allow employees to set goals and reward on meeting said goals. Overwhelming reliance on antiquated systems and methods at the local level. I am not sure if this is reluctance by the RR Donnelley as parent company to invest in better technology and support, but not having a centralized system in place ensures that relatively simple work becomes complicated.
