May have to drink the cool aid

Anonymous employee

Pros

There are some really good people, if you can find them. The do offer the ability to transfer to other locations if needed. They generally recognize strong people.

Cons

The management is terrible. There is definitely a "good ole boy" mentality. Some people are never going to be let go because they are donnelley old timers. Have to drink the cool aid to fully be accepted into the society. Also the company moves like a sloth. Some of their processes are so bogged down it causes customer complaints.

RRD has been a great place for me to work and I intend to keep working as long as they are willing to pay me.

Pros

I have opportunities for travel and personal development that I have had at no other company. I have had assignments for extended periods in Europe and Asia. RRD has paid for college-level courses to improve and update my skills. I have had great supervisors who have gone out of their way to make my work experiences positive.

Cons

Expectations for overtime and weekend work can be difficult to reconcile with outside interests and commitments. As in most companies not every supervisor is competent.

Dealing with corporate bureaucracy. Corporate human resources, in particular, is out of touch, incompetent, and dishonest.
