Pros
Valassis was a great company to work for. Like many companies, if you are willing to put in the effort, you will be rewarded. During my tenure I was able to move to a variety of departments and positions which helped me learn and grow personally and professionally. I've had great managers and not so great managers but have always learned something about myself. Valassis does value a positive attitude and passion which will open doors to new opportunities. I feel fortunate to have worked with so many incredible people in a welcoming and family like culture. My time here was truly a rewarding experience and it was a tough decision to leave.
Cons
After ownership of Harland Clarke, many things changed. Especially the moral of the company. It was a confusing time not knowing what to expect. But soon afterward the lay offs started to occur and moral lowered further. With the rumor mill in full swing circulating negativity throughout the company, more folks left on their own.
