Pluspunten

NOTE: This review refers to one of the companies that was acquired by American Reprographics back in 2002. If you are into Graphic Design, it is an excellent place to learn the next step, which is digital prepress and printing. And you learn new things every day. You get to work with the best commercial design and image manipulation software available - Illustrator, Photoshop, Quark, InDesign, etc.- and the best commercial printing equipment. (No offset, so there is no film, color separations or plates used here) Coworkers and managers were mostly nice people. You could get time off whenever you asked, with few exceptions.

Minpunten

Lost that "big family" athmosphere, which it had when it was an independent, regional company. Stress levels very high, due to tight deadlines, being shorthanded and layoff worries. But this may be true for the whole industry also. Because of being understaffed, overtime could go crazy, especially on night shift. This may be good (overtime pay) and bad (less family life/ social life).

Pluspunten

A pulse is all that is needed to qualify to do this work.

Minpunten

Weekly policy changes were implemented without advance notice and applied retroactively to all staff rather than addressing specific individuals. Dress code memo prohibited tights for all staff in response to specific individuals, further limiting appropriate clothing options in a warehouse environment. YouTube and visual content prohibited a month into tenure, with audio limited to music only, eliminating mental stimulation (e.g. news, podcast, etc.) during repetitive, isolated work in a locked room. A water bottle used every day for a month without issue and was even complimented by one of the supervisors, suddenly became prohibited according to the same supervisor weeks later (there is no exaggeration here, unfortunately). Book tracking quota requirement was introduced despite significant daily downtime — approximately forty-five minutes each morning and after lunch, waiting to be logged in or for books to arrive yet a daily scanning quota was imposed despite these systemic delays. Management is fickle, unorganized, and lacking competence. The work environment is unpredictable, and staff are set up for failure.
