Complete Letdown ... Forgot what being loyal means

Anonymous employee

Recommend

CEO approval

Business Outlook

Pros

Opportunities for various roles as there is constant change and layoffs which can work out in someone's favor if they kiss butt enough.

Cons

Management stinks ... lazy, no follow through, not honest, not loyal. What was once a good company is now garbage ... Many, many, many, long stressful hours and nothing given back to the hardworking employees. MANY layoffs ... and days later new hires walk through the door. CEO will pay visits and say all is great and then two weeks later ... BAM, another layoff.

Look out for unfair practices and treatment, especially from HR

Pros

Great team environment within your own teams.

Cons

Management training is highly needed. RRD says people are their business but they do not focus on their own people. HR is not for the employees at all.HR is asked to make things work in favor or the company and somehow make things happen such finding a "clean way" to terminate an employee and always please the client. They treat each issue differently. For example I know of a situation where they didn't terminate an employee that charged 20K personal charges on their business credit card and didn't pay it (Caucasian) but terminated a Hispanic person that by mistakenly charged personal charges but paid it off. No values or morals. They also work you to blood sweat and tears and show zero appreciation.
