R.R. Donnelley – “Don't bother if you're innovative and goal oriented or you wish to foster growth potential for direct reports”

Pros

An extremely large organization with range of location availability and international reach.

Had a great healthcare system in 2007, great 401k matching and vesting, but not anymore, see below.

Cons

Employees are not looked at as individuals.

There is virtually zero chance for career progression.

RRDs employs a sales management attitude not a strategic management one.

The corporate culture advocates saying "yes" to clients without questioning how to strategically fulfill the request.

As of 2008, due to the average age group of RRD's core employees and their poor overall general health including higher than average exposure to hazardous working environments in the print industry, all RRD employees have been subjected to higher than average health insurance premiums.

In 2008 HR policies were introduced stipulating that over five recorded sick instances annually may be grounds for dismissal.

Insufficient paid time off for new or existing employees. While I was managing a group, some employees PTO days were actually reduced to align with new nationwide PTO allocation policies.

Advice to Senior Management

You run the company as if you're selling door-to-door insurance and I doubt there is anything I could say that would be taken to heart by management to facilitate positive change.
