Pros

Coworkers are generally friendly. My manager was great. There is an onsite cafeteria, and your food comes out of your pre-tax income.

Cons

The IT department just laid off 65 people. They let the most junior people go, pretty much anyone with less than two years with the company got cut. There was one girl on the team who put in 5-10 hours of unpaid overtime every week, had a great GPA from a top college and they gave her the axe. The bottom line is that there is NO opportunity of advancing your career at Quad in IT. The company went public and made a bunch of bad acquisitions that have come back to bite them and the workers are suffering. Run far away.

Pros

People are great to work with, they are friendly and my team made me feel like family. I didn't mind the Quad blues either, I liked having separate clothes for work. The work I did involved working by myself most of the time, but when I needed help/advice my team was always there to give me input.

Cons

The main reason I left the job was because of the Quad culture. I am a software developer and couldn't work from home at all, because of the Quad culture. My drive to work was far and eventually that was why I burned out and had to find a different job.
