Corporate culture FAIL...

Pros

My boss is awesome, and the technology base is varied. Exposure to a wide range of different clouds and infrastructure. The work-life balance in my team is fantastic.

Cons

The pay sucks. The corporate culture sucks. The promotions are non-existant. The bureaucracy is immense. HR is a joke. The last 3 years have seen increased benefits cost increases that outstrip the pay raises, so essentially that's a pay cut 3 years running. In a dying industry (printing) this behemoth is clinging to any method of making money, including giving authority to any sales rep who makes a buck to demand whatever they want with impunity. Their M.O. is to cut costs by 3% a year, and they been doing it so long they're well through the fat, muscle, and bone and are on to the marrow.

Enjoyed IT

Pros

I was a senior site-based IT support guy and had a really good experience. There was not too much overtime, on-call weeks happened only 4 times a year or so, and I felt really supported by my manager and supervisor. Also the Site IT structure, as an organization, I felt was really well run.

Cons

Not really a con per se, but companies of RRD's size absolutely rely on procedure and protocol for getting things done. SLA's are at stake and life is much easier if one knows the procedure and then follows it.

Pros

It has only been six months since this company acquired my previous companys (77 nationwide separate locations) and I have had a recent positive review that seemed to be only a "paper only"review. It was noted that I was highly underpaid by the previous company and has not changed with the new company, despite the very positive review and current stellar work. Therefore I am in a current job search for a better opportunity somewhere else.

Cons

It is understood that it will take time for the new company to proceed through the transition and hopefully there will be the necessary changes made to ensure success.
