Pros

Was a great place to stimulate a creative and caring culture. No idea was a bad idea. You respected your co-workers and they respected you. If you didn't screw up, you weren't trying hard enough. You felt like an owner and had some input on things that were going on.until the mother company went Public.

Cons

The mother company, Quad/Graphics went public. Quad/Graphics bought World Color and Vertis to enlarge their customer base. They inherited a customer base, but also inherited run down buildings with run down presses and workers with terrible work ethics. This was a recipe for disaster. The once thriving company is starting to nosedive and laying people off.

Pros

There are many great people to work with, a lot of opportunities for travel, almost everyone has the ability to be 'hands-on' and to have their new ideas heard, outstanding IS support, health care, fitness and daycare available on site.

Cons

The corporate vision changes so much, it is impossible to keep up. If the business process was working, you wouldn't need so many corporate goals to supplement them. If the business process isn't working, fix it, instead of confusing everyone with so many annual corporate goals. The creation of business units created silos and divided the resources, making it impossible to go 'full speed ahead' on any singularly important project. Being a subsidiary of a much bigger parent company, thee people in this division are treated like a printing company, not a technology company. There is no singular vision for the sales, engineering and service groups. Becuase each division answers to its own goals, there is no sense of 'how do we pull together to advance the business?'
