Pros

Consistent work and it did teach me much about digital printing . My hours were consistent and there was plenty of opportunities for overtime. My first nine years were great working there.

Cons

Benefits were not good. They stopped matching 401K. In the ten years I worked there, I only received two raises at 1% increases. Meanwhile my benefits cost went up. I would've put up with all this by when new management too over in St. Charles, they rearranged our schedules and started treating the workers with a "sweatshop" mentality, it was time to leave. Many employees are looking for ways to get out of there.

Pros

Fortune 500 company - looks good on a resume for a person out of college. Will toughen you to appreciate the better work environment on your next job.

Cons

Over work employees and underpay them. Do not provide the internal resources to succeed. Dying industry that have cut costs to the bone. Employees are expendable, outsourcing is Job One. Inconsistent manufacturing process and policy and no integration with systems. High employee turnover. Robotic management with blaming mindset. Training or coaching non existent. No 401K matching, expensive healthcare.

Pros

Immediate managers I encountered were generally flexible if hours needed to be adjusted for personal needs. They often found new positions for people they liked when things weren't working where they had been plugged in. Lots of good people around, some with lonnnnnngg careers with the company.

Cons

I'm not saying this as somebody with an ax to grind, because I recognize that this company put food on my table for many years. There were departments with policies that treated employees like machine parts, with a ridiculous vacation selection process that had people in line behind other people with completely different job functions; forced furlough days during lean times; etc. Job titles didn't always match job functions, and in those cases the wage/work scale was bent in the company's favor – they paid you for A, but you were really doing B and that should be worth more.
