RR Donnelley

Depending on seasons, you can have a lot of work or very little.
Usually vacations hours are used to take days off when there is little work.

The current management seems unfocused and unsure of what direction the company should take. This is natural as the industry is in an ongoing state of change.

Friendly co-workers make the working environment less dry

One of the worst parts of the job is when details don't match, (job to docket) not everyone is notified and when it is discovered, jobs are put on hold.

If you like working without being bothered much on the production floor, its here. You work with very little supervision which is nice. Occasionally, things will be communicated over through in person meetings.

A typical day at work: Inventing ways to break down all of the internal RRD barriers in order to meet the client needs.

What I learned: Leadership is everything.

Management:  RRD is a closed ranks company that only promotes from within.  As a result the leadership and management are not progressive which directly affects their executional teams.

The hardest part of the job:  Using SAP for ISM projects - a 20 year old system built to handle a very different type of business.  I equate it to trying to land an airplane onto train tracks.

The most enjoyable part of the job:  Working with a small dedicated team of PM's who showed loyalty and professionalism long after if was in their best interests.

Supportive environment.  Many  great people.

Being at RR Donnelley for about 1 and a half years I was able to meet a lot of fine and hardworking individuals.  As with any company there are the odd few that shouldn't be there or in leadership roles but this doesn't take away from the solid work environment with the organization.

Management is well known for taking chances within the company by promoting within to solidify the foundation of the plant and it works well.  By hiring within and offering advancement they have built a hardworking, stable, and fun setting.

Paid salary and spent more time than desired beyond regular hours working to complete tasks.  Studio manager was intolerant and did not appreciate extra work done and approving overtime.
Our department was the only one that apparently had no excuse not to complete their work.  I thought it was unfair and reported my manager to HR when this topic came up in a regular
staff meeting.  As well, other departments could surf on the web and do personal things but unfairly not our department.

I started off working as a temporary worker but advanced landing myself a contract with the company. Everyday at work was different because you would always be packing some new product for various stores such as target. The people there are always making jokes, singing, and laughing which makes a great work experience. You can always count on co-workers to help with heavy orders or any concerns/questions you have, with made me feel very comfortable because I knew I would be always doing my job correctly and safely. Some days are hard when its insanely busy but everyone makes it fun.

Most of the employees are wonderful and supportive to work with. Most of the management I experienced however only care about their bottom line, and are often dismissive and don't value their employees. Even when you complain to HR about a manager's behaviour, they don't take you seriously and forward it to them instead of discussing it with you privately. Don't expect fair salary increases either unless you're able to negotiate a good salary upon first joining. The work itself can be interesting depending on the types of accounts you get assigned to.

RR Donnelley prints the financial public information for large companies such as IPO; Initial Public Offering. They also print marketing material for health care offices such as dentists and optometrists. 

It is a small office, only nine people so that can be an advantage to work culture; you're not a number. 

The hardest part about the job was having all your resources being in Toronto and the two hour time difference.

Co-workers were all very friendly with a great sense of humour, as well as helpful when needed. Management too, were helpful when needed and laid back as well. Always kept busy with tasks, some days were slower than other but that is to be expected. Environment was great to work in, everyone did their part to keep the building clean as well as safe. Overall, it was a very enjoyable job.

Horrible horrible place to work. Underpaid. Extremely unorganized, unqualified and horrible management who does not care about their employees or even how to properly run the place. Very unsafe full of clutter and just all around in general miserable place to work because all employees are mistreated and unhappy. Very low morale. Most supervisors are disrespectful and do not know how to talk to employees. 
Do yourself a favor and save yourself stress bulls**t and headaches and do not apply there
