Pros

Never know if you will get to work at your own plant or work at all when things get slow. Never know when layoffs will happen and if you will have your job still at the end of the day. They like to keep felons, military people, pedophiles, people with disabilities all because they get a tax break for people like that. I have seen great workers with great attendance and performance get laid off before people with poor attendance and bad work ethic all because they get a tax break on that person. Poor management doesn't listen to your ideas. Won't pay you your vacation if you quit or get fired or laid off. Stay away if you value job security

Cons

Did I mention no breaks unless you're a jogger?

Business Outlook

Pros

Laid back atmosphere (in this particular department in this particular facility). Somewhat decent benefits. Making a few changes to improve compensation for employees.

Cons

Print division is a sinking ship and Quad isn't providing life jackets. Puts manufacturing workers on 12 hour shifts then routinely cuts hours (on Saturdays so you lose OT). Multiple plant closures per year. Equipment and tools in poor condition. Other print companies focusing on packaging for growth, while Quad is content to let it atrophy like Paul Orndorff's arm. Wisconsin workers will be ok. Everyone else? Keep that resume handy.
