      Large Company with large pros and cons

      Pros

      The size of RR Donnelley makes finding a solution for every customer need probable. The experience of RR Donnelley gives a sales commission based executive plenty of resources for training without tons of required training that isn't helpful.

      Cons

      The size of RR Donnelley has its own unique challenges. Some customers want to work with a small town business. The size of RR Donnelley also makes it possible to get totally lost in the organization.

      Pros

      At one point, RRD was a decent, respectable company to work for. Employees were proud, treated well, and jobs followed a rational and reasonable flow. As a long-time former employee, I saw it decline rapidly recently. Employees are treated as a number, an almighty cog in the wheel of doom.

      Cons

      Management needs to get with the times and get a clue. It is not the 50s and valuable employee suggestions are not heard by factory-mentality management. Further, scare tactics forcing already hard-working employees into work 10 and 12 hour shifts is distasteful and only further deteriorates morale. Walking into work became a death march of sorts for most due to irrational and impossible expectations by management. There is no sick time off policy. If you are sick, cut your hand off, etc, you will get an occurrence. Those stack up over time and are used as leverage against you as yet another fear tactic. Take your vitamins. HR is in bed with management (yes, literally.). I wouldn't expect them to go to bat for you when you really need them. The bulk of the work that was handled in Elgin is now moving off-shore so there is absolutely NO job security. There have been at least 3 major layoffs with more to follow. If you are an individual, an "out of the box" thinker, this is not the job for you. Management will push you down into the line or get rid of you without a second thought.

      Pros

      paid well, hours good, good balance of life/work.

      Cons

      Not a growth industry. No opportunities within RRD to learn or grow as an employee. Culture is in the dark ages.
