Business Outlook

Pros

The people - depending on the location you work at - very friendly, family-oriented people (NOT UPPER MANAGEMENT). The teams plan a lot of events to bring people together and get to know each other. Fitness center on site (although it is not staffed or well maintained). Day care on site (very expensive, but convenient).

Cons

The benefits - no 401K matching, little to no raises, no uniform reimbursement, no tuition reimbursement, increased insurance premiums. All of these were eliminated or changed in the last year. Little cohesion between Quad employees and the employees of companies acquired by Quad (lots of animosity). Very high turnover rate. They expect you to work LOTS of hours, whether you are salaried or hourly, production or admin - under the guise that "we're all part of the team, and we have to do this to succeed".

Pros

Pay for performance company. They will pay you competitively as long as you work hard and show up every day. Pretty good work environment with overall good employees surrounding you.

Cons

The print industry is brutal at this time, consolidation abounds and is a necessary fact in the industry.
