Pros

Plenty of work, Donnelley has become a very rich and powerful competitor as they have crush competition, because they have always been a front runner in technology and lower benefits and pay which gives them a pricing edge when it comes to the market

Cons

Cannot plan for anything, at anytime expected to work overtime. Do to the lack of experience from several down sizes the ones left have to pick up the slack, they have to learn to do more with less is the norm now, not enough people to run machines, so massive overtime, company's loyalty to loyal and faithful employees is non-existence.

Pros

Others in the same position were hired shortly after in which they were paid 20% less, I got in at the right time, but felt bad for the others because we did the exact same thing. Worked only 8 hours and got to leave.

Cons

Customer is king, which is true to an extent. Unrealistic deadlines that clients wanted and had to make happy regardless of quality of work. Worked rotating shifts, 24 hours a day, and if you could not work a shift they would schedule you regardless, and if you didn't like it, then there is the door.
