It's a job

Pros

Gay and lesbians are favored for promotions.

Cons

It's a job until you find something better. Lots of favoritism to friends and family and smoking buddies in the front office. The rules don't apply to them nor do they have to put in a full day's work. Manager curses and wants it his way right now. Clueless about the equipment capabilities. Buys more broken equipment ready for the scrap yard. Supervisor want everyone to work every weekend even when theirs no work. Then wonder why we're over budget. Some micromanage even following you to your car or bathroom if you leave your machine for break. If you complain about anything the supervisor will find something to write you up about. Management doesn't want to manage. They're there to monitor the Kaos: late orders, running out of paper, wrong instructions, almost no training. Women doing the job 5 years get paid less than a new male employee with no experience. Leads make fun of those that bring up safety issues. No training if the person doesn't like you.Poor medical no match 401k

Pros

I liked many of my coworkers and received pay. That's it.

Cons

everything else other than my pros...very bad experience. Worst company I have ever worked for due to management. If there was an option for no stars I would pick it, but one star will have to do because I got paid for my work.

Pros

Mobility across other teams is possible, good people definitely work at RRD - willing to help out and good team environment for the most part, opportunities to volunteer with workplace Big Brother Big Sister program

Cons

Huge company - so when you have a good idea about how you can improve something it usually takes a long time to actually get the approval to make it happen, software programs are not up to date in the translation dept, sales and production teams do not get along that well - they don't work together when coming up with estimates / quotes
