Pros

Pay was the best I ever had, but I had low standards to begin with, and next to the industry average it was terribly "meh" so I wouldn't really consider it a 'pro'. Personally, I enjoy the pay, but that’s it. It was not enough to keep me actually loyal to or interested in the company. I tried and was assertive for a good while, but the more I looked around at the company the more disheartened I became. If you're in the offices, you're probably ok, but if you're anywhere else and aren't an authority figure you're pretty much treated as a grunt.

Cons

I wanna say a lot about this, but being a current employee it'll put my job at risk, because yes management's had meetings about bad reviews from former employees on other sites, so I don't doubt there will be repercussions for me saying what actually needs to be said here. And to actually say it through their open door policy will be looked at as me having an "attitude" or dismissed like all of it seems to be. Hopefully I can edit this once I'm secure elsewhere. For now though, best I can say is there's a lot of outdated and damaged essential equipment, lotta shady temps that disrespect the facilities, and a lot of employees with poor work ethic. Certain authority figures hide problems from others for their own gain, and overtime is extremely abused.

Pros

Giant company with some opportunities if you have drive and ambition. I personally worked with great management and highly skilled co-workers. Working from home and flexible work schedules for IT workers are a huge plus. RR Donnelley has implemented a number of community service programs through the company inclusion council. The company is growing through acquisition and attempting move into high growth areas to offset the decline in traditional ink on paper.

Cons

I've been at the company 7+ years. I have seen the pension frozen, 401K match taken away, no training, little to no raises, benefits costs rising. Every little perk has been taken away in order to "cut costs" and please shareholders. Everyone, even top performers, are treated pretty much the same. I don't see this pattern changing going forward.
