Dread going to work every single day.

Pros

I have no pros. I used to love my job before heidelberg acquired us.

Cons

Cut overtime 2 weeks before Christmas. Introduce new rules without notice or explanation when you have questions or concerns. Proudly spoke of the boot allowance they offer but nobody has an answer about how to use it when you ask. If you can think of something enjoyable about a job I am sure they could find a way to ruin it.
