Pros

This company is enormous and has seemingly endless resources for its projects. Job stability and market share are definite advantages. A position at RRD is good for someone who wants a steady paycheck above all else.

Cons

The size of the company is also a disadvantage in that it lends itself to intense office politics, a generally apathetic workforce, and wasteful spending practices. This is not a place for someone who wants an uplifting environment or personal development. Corporate ladder climbers and satisfied drones only. IMPORTANT: Salary increases are generally not based on performance or even your peers' salaries, but on percentage increase. Your negotiated starting salary is vital to your financial growth. It is very common to make less than peers who do less, lower quality work. Do NOT settle for less than half of the stated salary range when you start.

Pros

Most of the people working at the company are helpful and nice. I came to them through an acquisition and it was handled pretty well.

Cons

The company is super strict and stingy. With the acquisition we lost so much, but weren't given anything in return for extra time off or benefits we were losing.
