Pros

*Autonomy - I can come and go as I wish *Stock price is certainly affordable at $1.71 *Extremely easy to predict what this company will do on a daily and long term basis.

Kontras

*Senior management cares only about the numbers, to the point that it clouds their ability to make solid long term business decisions that will work in the long run. It’s always about getting the financials turned around now...regardless of the mid to long term impact of those actions. Results speak for themselves. *RRD is great at 2 things...closing plants to realize consolidation savings on paper, and taking other risky cost-out actions *No 401k match *The cost of health insurance to the employees is much higher than many other companies for similar benefits. Don’t let their talk track about rising industry health insurance costs fool you. I’m currently interviewing with lots of companies and most of them, even smaller ones, are more affordable. And that is because other companies pay for a greater percentage of it in order to attract better talent. Sometimes the grass IS greener on the other side. *We have one executive leader who brags with pride about RRD being his only employer, and RRD being his dads only employer. And people wonder why RRD lacks vision and keeps applying the same failed approach to business and getting the same flawed results...This exec has a history of disrespectful, nearly abusive verbal treatment of subordinates. His example is being followed at diluted levels by several of his leaders who report to him. Shameful. *Hey, you may think I’m just a sour grapes employee with an attitude issue who wants to get out, but don’t listen to me. Take a look at the investor lawsuits against the BOD for breech of fiduciary responsibility after the spin-off. And take a look at the stock for the past 3 years. Now compare RRD stock trending to the overall market trend for the same period. *We are losing talent at almost exponential rates, making it harder and harder to delight our customers, and lowering the job satisfaction of the remaining employees who have to add that work to their already bloated responsibilities.

Pros

The schedule is pretty consistent, and you get benefits, PTO, and sick time. Depending on the team you're on, you may have the chance to work holidays or pick up overtime at 1.5x pay. There is also Shift differential pay. Some teams also have hybrid schedules, which is a nice perk. It's a solid place to get experience and build your resume. The skills and connections you make here can lead to other opportunities in the future.

Kontras

Pay: Things may be different now, but when I worked there, the pay felt uneven depending on the position. For example, proofreaders made around $17/hour, document specialists around $19/hour, and workflow coordinators around $22/hour (before shift differentials). Given the responsibilities of some roles, the compensation didn't always seem to match the workload. Parking: Parking was honestly one of the worst parts of working there. You almost have to consider it part of your commute. The main option is a multi-level parking garage, and your choices are usually either the top floor, where your car bakes in the sun all day, or the floor below, where the available spots are typically all the way in the back. Accessibility / Commute: The office is located in a very busy area, which can make getting in and out a hassle. Between traffic, the light rail crossings, finding parking, walking through the garage, crossing the lobby, and taking multiple elevators, the commute often felt longer than it should have been. Lunch: Lunch is a 30-minute unpaid break. It's standard, but it does mean your day ends up feeling longer since you're either working 7.5 hours plus lunch or staying an extra 30 minutes before heading home. My Experience: I worked on a team that supported a large law firm. From my perspective, the team often felt understaffed and overworked. During my time there, I also saw management change several times, which made it difficult to maintain consistency. One thing that was particularly frustrating was the lack of internal promotion opportunities. When leadership positions opened up, the company often chose external candidates instead of promoting people who were already doing the work and understood the clients. It was discouraging for employees who wanted to grow within the company, and I saw several experienced and knowledgeable coworkers leave after being passed over for advancement opportunities. That said, this was my experience with one specific team. Other teams may have had very different experiences, management styles, and opportunities.
