Pros

The people from the Quebecor World "legacy" plants! Almost all, from the plant managers, sales, estimating, press operators , Bindery , housekeeping etc are decent hard working lovely people.

Cons

Underpaid ! Lowest in industry! The disrespect shown to any one who is not part of the original 7 Wisconsin plants is so rude it is shocking. Upper management came in to visit the GM of a division in Dec of 2013, one of the two "higher" ups was so rude that she rolled her eyes over 15 times in the space of 2 hours. Not only was this seen by the GM but also was reported to them (GM) by their employees. After the two left. This GM had increased sales by 300% and Ebit had increased under their management by more than 200% - expenses had decreased by 25% so it was not a performance issue. They simply want control of everyone and when you have the audacity to point out there are better ways to accomplish a goal you are immediately blacklisted and will be gotten rid of as quickly as possible.
