Pros

Broad exposure to all aspects of client's business

Cons

Total chaos for the past 2 years. Constant reshuffling of positions, hiring new employees who aren't properly trained and now select people have to reapply for their jobs.

Pros

Depending on the group you can find some people that really care about helping the client.

Cons

RRD has lost their way - the company has no solid direction or plans for future growth. The "spin" of the 3 companies never made good business sense and has only made the top executives $$. You are only a number and are expendable at any time. The company has gone through MANY WFR's (work force reductions) and has now cut into the "bone" in an effort to make bottom line revenue numbers. And they are planning to keep cutting if necessary. The company is heavy in debt and has very limited $$ to invest in growth opportunities. No 401K match, small or non-existent bonuses, less than cost of living increases yearly, no HR support, expensive health care coverage as they shift more of the cost to employees - increased cost and deductibles, with a decrease in coverage. I would not recommend working for RRD.

Pros

I'm sure there were some, but please read the cons

Cons

RR Donnelley has very little interest in their employee. They buy out other companies and toss the workers out on the street to fend for themselves. This happened to me 3 times! There should be a law! I worked for a competitor in Appleton Wisconsin in 2006 that was bought out by RRD. We all lost our well paying jobs within a few months. I found a new job for a specialty printer with in a few months in Depere WI. They were bought out again by RRD. They quickly enacted a 1.25% workforce reduction program and I was out on the street. My wife and I moved to Dallas TX. And I found work at a medium sized digital printer. After 4 years RRD came a long and you guessed it!
