1% annual raise for everyone regardless of how well you perform versus someone else. No Bonus's Benefits are less than average. Quite poor. No employee recognition program and zero incentives. Outside of IT and high level Operations at the Facilities, pay is not competitive.

Pros

-Decent people -Flexible scheduling -Telecommute options -Clean and safe work location

Cons

-Constant 0 to 1% raises awarded across the board regardless of your performance. -Upper management seems to keep secrets better than the CIA -Company is currently working to split itself into three separate companies so the uncertainty is stressful. -No 401K match -Horrible insurance plans with high deductibles and premiums. -Bonus payouts are laughable

Great people, no upward growth

Pros

The people at RRD are highly talented, truly care about customers and take pride in their work. For the most part it was a very stable company with average pay. My boss was very flexible with my working hours especially with kids. You also have the opportunity to work with some of the largest and most recognizable companies in the world.

Cons

Little to no bonuses, MAX and I mean MAX pay raise is 3%/yr...but realistically it''s more like 1%. They cut the pension program when I worked there too. No upward growth opportunities. They prefer that you be satisfied with pulling the same lever day after day..which can be boring if you're an innovative/creative person. RRD has 60K employees globally and it's very easy to get lost in the fold. Oh and the changes...there's always a new merger, value prop, company spin etc.
