Suit and tie every single day in the corporate headquarters. This might seem fun at first but it gets old quick especially with the dry cleaning bills. (See statement on raises below)
They are a printer but their technology across the board is very antiquated. One issue with this company is that when ideas start they are always stopped and never seen through to completion. I did not see them make one good decision during my time there.
Expect to be shown the door if you have innovative ideas that will make your manager look bad for the fact that they did not come up with them. They like to snuggle up with the owners to cover their incompetence. There is no innovation with this company despite a drastic need for some before they need to close the door due to bad finances. "Status Quo is great". When you are shown the door expect to be escorted out and have everything cut off that day - pay, benefits, etc. They are extremely ruthless.
You are always watched by HR in Stamford. Sadly they place more merit on if you sit in your chair while half brain dead from 9-5 rather then actually do something that will help the stock price. Also, HR is not truly an employee advocate. They oversee the hiring and firings at best. Expect to get dirty looks and have HR harass your manager if you need to step out during the day because you were not glued to your desk. All of this even if you have approval from your manager for stepping out.
No raise unless there is an act of congress. Expect to be stuck at the same salary for a very long time despite your list of accomplishments. Some folks go several years without a raise. This was after compensation was cut by 10% for the whole company in 2010. There is also no formal annual review process.
Extreme double standards from a performance perspective. Bottom performers who mess up time and time again are retained where top performers seek other employment due to all of the reasons listed here.
Senior leadership sits in a separate area (ivory tower syndrome) and rarely talk with their employees to get new ideas or to seek feedback on difficulties. This is on a company, team, and individual basis. There is no vision or guidance on an executive level. It instead comes from the incompetent middle manager layer of the organization. All of this while those in the trenches are ignored.
