Pros

It's a job. They do offer a severance package which you might need.

Cons

Pay and benefits are on a downward spiral and have been for years. Very stressful. You only get 37.5 or 34.5 hours of pay per week unless you work overtime. The slack season keeps growing and you may be forced to take days off. Different employees have different unwritten rules. No rewards for a good job, no merit pay. The placed is managed like they don't expect it to be around for very many years to come. The closer you get to retirement the more you are concerned with the "work force reductions" When 45 year employee's are met at the door and told they have been cut, and loose benefits.

Pros

There is nothing PRO about this company at all

Cons

Bad management from president all the way up to corporate. They are one of the most greediest companies when it comes to taking advantage of customers and employees. Terrible employee benefits and treating employees badly. The only ones they care for are their shareholders. They continue to lose employees, customers and are shutting down plants globally. The printing business is a tough industry and they do not value their relationships with their customers or employees. I've since left and am with a different company and it's the difference between night and day. And what's even better our company continues to win business away from RRD for the exact same reason I and many other fellow employees left the company.
