Pros

Plenty of work, Donnelley has become a very rich and powerful competitor as they have crush competition, because they have always been a front runner in technology and lower benefits and pay which gives them a pricing edge when it comes to the market

Cons

Cannot plan for anything, at anytime expected to work overtime. Do to the lack of experience from several down sizes the ones left have to pick up the slack, they have to learn to do more with less is the norm now, not enough people to run machines, so massive overtime, company's loyalty to loyal and faithful employees is non-existence.

Pros

Due to the cutbacks in staffing and the resulting increase in job responsibilities, each employee is typically given additional responsibilities well above and beyond their original job description. So, while you won't be paid more for your additional duties, you will gain experience in a large number of print-related roles that prepare you for a position elsewhere. Free coffee. Always a plus.

Cons

The LDP Associate program, lauded as one of the company's strengths, is in actuality one of its biggest weaknesses. This program takes recent college graduates, who typically do not even have a long-term interest in the print industry, and places them into roles that they are not trained or ready for. Many of the LDPs wash out once they work at CGX for a year or so. Some stay on, and are promoted to positions they are absolutely not ready for, to the great detriment to the individual operating companies and to CGX as a whole. When you combine this with the targeted termination of highly-paid printing experts, experienced managers and trade craftsmen that used to make up the companies that CGX cannibalized, you get a recipe for exceptionally weak/clueless management without any hope for internal promotion of more qualified individuals. The IT group, TSSG, is particularly staffed with "warm bodies" that have no business remaining in an IT role. There are some diamonds in the rough that carry the rest of the TSSG division. No tuition reimbursement or continuing education programs. As a general rule, pay for CGX employees is lower than industry average, there are no in-house promotions for the "non-LDP" workers, and office culture is somewhat demoralizing and frustrating.
