Pluspunten

At one point, RRD was a decent, respectable company to work for. Employees were proud, treated well, and jobs followed a rational and reasonable flow. As a long-time former employee, I saw it decline rapidly recently. Employees are treated as a number, an almighty cog in the wheel of doom.

Minpunten

Management needs to get with the times and get a clue. It is not the 50s and valuable employee suggestions are not heard by factory-mentality management. Further, scare tactics forcing already hard-working employees into work 10 and 12 hour shifts is distasteful and only further deteriorates morale. Walking into work became a death march of sorts for most due to irrational and impossible expectations by management. There is no sick time off policy. If you are sick, cut your hand off, etc, you will get an occurrence. Those stack up over time and are used as leverage against you as yet another fear tactic. Take your vitamins. HR is in bed with management (yes, literally.). I wouldn't expect them to go to bat for you when you really need them. The bulk of the work that was handled in Elgin is now moving off-shore so there is absolutely NO job security. There have been at least 3 major layoffs with more to follow. If you are an individual, an "out of the box" thinker, this is not the job for you. Management will push you down into the line or get rid of you without a second thought.

Pluspunten

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.

Minpunten

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.
