Previously Bowne, but new company ownership is fine.

Business Outlook

Pros

Relaxed dress code and comfortable work enviroment. Responsibility and decision-making is shared at the employee level. Not difficult to initiate improvements. It is also a a good location for my commute.

Cons

Low level management needs to have more power to get technical issues resolved for employees. Old equipment/software and access issues - some due to the Bowne to Donnelley transition - make it difficult to be efficient in training contract employees and in processing work in general. Poor support in the IT area even though all work is an electronic enviroment.

Pros

The companies capabilities are top notch in comparison to the rest of the printing industry and therefore the tool-belt of tools is unmatched.

Cons

The most frustrating aspect of RRD is the relative difficulty of getting jobs & work through the corporation and into the right production facility.
