Pros

People I work with are great, it is just that the managment needs to uderstand how much pressure they put PM's under.

Cons

The cons far out weight the pros it might just be at my plant, but I am sure it is everywhere. The systems we use do not work well together.

Managed by emotion and emotions change from hour to hour. No strategic planning. Plans change from day to day. Unstable.

Pros

Pay rate is decent Location is safe Bus Transportation available Temp jobs in Print Center are good

Cons

Management Team doesn't respect each other. Managers are condescending to their employees and do not show respect or appreciation. Mangers may have good knowledge and experience but no leadership skills. RRD responds by having them read webinars. There is no followup to that. Webinars alone don't make good Managers. HR person repeats what you say to Managers, nothing is confidential. There is no trust. HR is very closed, doesn't listen, does not take any actions. Employee morale is very low and HR turns their backs pretends nothing is wrong. The VP of our facility is the only one with integrity and truly cares about her employees. unfortunately, she is not aware of the corruption beneath her.
