      I worked at R.R. Donnelley full-time

      Pros

      I got to work on some great high-end accounts which I enjoyed and helped build a strong portfolio. I worked with some super talented, nice and fun people.

      Cons

      Management is a nightmare, it seems that bullying and gaslighting is part of the culture. Don't expect any equipment, database or software to work.

      Advice to Management

      Cut the red tape, give people the tools they need to do their job and treat them with a modicum of respect.

      Pros

      Good coworkers
      Reps truly care about their customers

      Cons

      Upper management only wants to hear from other managers (who do not relay the truth), not employees
      Employees are given promotions based on personal preferance rather than work effort
      Upper management rewards people by what they "think" is going on, but never do enough work to validate what they are rewarding for
      Zero company culture or appreciation
      They'd rather make it harder to do you work than easier

      Advice to Management

      The company needs to spend more time talking to its lower level employees and they need to make sure that employees feel they are being heard. The company is losing valuable, young people because they are not listening to what we have to say.

      Pros

      Not a single one, except there are a few good people left.

      Cons

      Everything, this is the most ridiculous company I have ever worked for. They are so corrupt and management doesn't even care so long as HR or upper management isn't notified of the terrible issues in the departments. Lets just say right now most of my department is looking for better positions after they messed up all of our holiday time by making all of us change our schedules right before the holidays (which was the last straw for many of us).
      -Issues with pay and getting paid on time and correctly
      -Not allowed to take PTO
      -Not allowed to take holidays much of the time
      -Not enough coverage to take breaks
      -Stupid, prideful, and unskilled manager
      -No training (or proper training)
      -No care or acknowledgment for any concerns that an employee my have
      -And this trend continues...

      Advice to Management

      Bring in a 3rd party to clean house, or you will lose everything.
