Pros

Quad is located close to home. You do not need a magament degree to get a yellow tag. No experence; Quad will take you.

Cons

Mass layoffs. Low wages. Constant threat of not having enough work. The company spends money buying plants and equipment then complains that there is not enough cash for its workers. Freezes on pay, and cutting hours.

Pros

Quad in a unique company. I've grown comfortable with the uniforms. It seems they feed into the overall laid back nature and culture. Most of the people are great to work with, there is a good family feeling there.

Cons

I don't think the salary is competive. There is an overall lack of communication. Annual reviews are done poorly ( I've had four different manager to base this on) I was always give high levels of praise, but it was followed with no direction or goals. Any opportunity seems to what you find on your own, and you are usually only given a pat on the back for it.
