Pros

I enjoyed working at Quad/Graphics. The benefits were great and the company had a great history. I was definitely someone that drank the color blue.

Cons

Because of the long retention rate, some people were irate for a long time. I wish it wasn't that way, but there is only so much you can do.

Pros

Quad is an excellent company with positive career path growth. Unfortunately, the printing industry continues to decline, but that should not reflect the positive reputation of the company.

Cons

Pay scale below market price

Very Few Incentives for Rank & File Employee

Pros

Weekly paycheck and medical coverage. Enjoy my co-workers.

Cons

Corporation is too top heavy. The executives are tone-deaf and make many decisions about operations, they know very little about. The top executives get huge bonuses, while the incentives for the rank & file have been stripped to the bare minimum. Many positions are becoming centralized, such as HR, IT, Pre-Press, Safety and others, which leads to a revolving door of attrition and contributes to poor morale. The fear of losing your job is constant and imminent. There is NO communication between management and the employees, unless another plant is being closed down, or another executive position has been created.
