From what I hear press building seems pretty legit for pay and opportunities of a promotion. However this review is for bindery building. Worked there three years left for a short time then returned, quickly remembered why I left. 
Upper management sucks. They try not to promote from within, that is unless you know the director of operations... They are willing to pay quad emloyees more than their own.. 
Lets talk pay, worked there for three years to make 20 cents less then someone who was an employee for a year and a half, even though I do the work of atleast two of their employees.. That's because here all you have to do is ask for more money/promotions and there's a pretty good chance you'll get it because again managment sucks. If you're going for a promotion aka "operator" 100% guarantee they are going to try and out source somewhere else before promoting you, quite simply put they value quads training more than their own. They have no idea what they should actually give people for raises because that would mean having to know each individual employee's value, to of which they could care less about. Here's why..
Get this the pocket feeder and the end person have no real responsibility tied to the finished product aka they have no way of getting rid of lazy unmotivated employees that is as long as they show up to work and do so on time. Here's an example, let's say you're on a production line and that particular line made garbage product for six hours all of that responsibility will fall onto the operator of that line. Saw multiple operators get in trouble time and time again but nothing was ever done to either the end person or the pocket feeder even if it was them that should have been getting written up... Which is pretty messed up because there are multiple production problems due to inadequate/lack of training. Anyways management tries to push off responsibility of managing pocket feeders onto operators and it ultimately fails.
What I can say is if you used to work at quad graphics or you're good at pushing off you're responsibilities onto others and are ok with asking for raises this may be a match made in heaven for you.
Would only recommend someone go here during busy season in order to make ends meet until they found a new real job...

A typical day at work was working with your internal customers as well as your vendors.  Validating inventories, updating DNR data requirements, quoting, processing orders as well as receiving orders.  Then the receipts would be reconciled against the purchase orders which in turn would be reconciled against the invoices.  Providing all matches well subsequently approving the invoices for payment.  

Working closely with all departments to make sure that everything that was needed to properly execute all external customer orders was on hand and to the standards we expected from our purchases in order that we may provided our customers with the exceptional product they've come to expect.

I most enjoyed the creative freedom that was given to "make it your own", along with providing the tools to do just that.  This really affords the sense of ownership, which in turn, drives the individuals desire for continued accomplishment.

I enjoyed  working at Schumann. The  owner  was very hands  on without getting in the way. If there was ever a problem that I couldn't figure out, he would be right there on the production floor to help out without belittling. The production manager was very easy to work with . If you ever needed time off, he would do whatever he could to make it happen. While the hourly pay rate was average at best, they made up for it with very affordable health care that was very good. It covered almost everything.

Get kids feed and to school, laundry, cleaning, building or fixing something, get computer stuff done, organizing different household items, getting to the clinics to take of items like mowing, fixing a toilet, refrigerator, taking care of the pontoon pool what ever needs to be done. Lately lining up construction workers. Staining, painting,

There are a lot of employees that have been at Schumann for many, many years.  I have witnessed that those that want to move up, can.  It can be fast paced at times, but I enjoy what I do and the day goes by fast. Recently we had a benefit update and I am very happy with the changes.  I feel valued at work and I know that if I have a problem I can talk to HR, my manager or ownership.  I enjoy my coworkers and the family type atmosphere.   

I honestly think this would be the best job to do if you’re a first time worker! I thought it would be hard at first but not at all was it. You have helpers with you in beginning to make sure you know how to do your job exactly. I highly recommend working here for it being my first job.

The first time I worked at schuman's printers it was a little weird cuz it was the first time being somewhere like that but as soon as I got trained and starting to get the hang of things it was pretty nice wasn't that bad and I like the pay

friendly people .hour are ok ..i tend to have four different jobs together every day no break. i have been their 3 months the work load is getting better they gave me some help.  i have support for two hours on my shift so they are trying to help me on 3rd shift ..they need more people.

The sad thing is I gave  everything  to them for almost  4 years did more then what my job title was and what my pay skill was to help  them out when needed  but seems like they dont care about  their Employees  but I did love my job and alot of my co workers
