Pros

There are plenty of hours available if you like to work overtime. There is a lot of short-term advancement if you have good attendance and are a good worker that can learn.

Cons

The work schedule is terrible. You have to work nights and weekends for 12 hour shifts. You can be scheduled for holidays and be called off at the last minute. It is very hard work in a very difficult work environment.

Pros

Amazing launch pad for career, but not career long place. They love to hire young developers for cheaper pay, which is great for internships and straight out of college people. I credit my successful career in this industry to my college internship and first full time job at Quad. But would advise moving on after knowledge and experience gained.

Cons

This is the perfect place to get your foot in the door and gain experience, best of any from all I've talked to. But after 2 years, if you're not still learning, move on and find yourself a big pay bump in the market. Quad under pays, but once they've given you the real world skills, the pay day can be found elsewhere. In this industry, if you're not moving every 3 years, you'd better be gaining knowledge, or being rewarded significantly for the knowledge you contain. But stay vigilant!
