"During my time as an Associate, I was bullish about learning all I could about the business and our clients, and made sure to develop meaningful relationships across the organization. Eventually, that dedication paid off and I secured the position of VP of Strategic Sales, which later escalated to roles as Plant President, Platform Group Vice President, and Senior Vice President.

Through ample opportunities, encouragement, and guidance, it was clear to me from the very beginning that RRD makes an investment in this program and truly believes Associates are given the foundation they need to become future leaders in this company."

"Being a part of the Associate Program provided me with a firm foundation of the printing industry that has led to a successful 20-year career in print. The relationships I have built within my own facility and within the global RRD network have been instrumental in helping me succeed.

I'm very thankful that I was part of such an amazing program. It was a rewarding journey that not only challenged me to be my best, but also surrounded me with supportive colleagues who I now consider close friends."

"This Associate Program provided me with an opportunity to gain experience and knowledge in all aspects of our business. The Associate Program allowed me to build a strong peer and mentor network and identify areas where I needed further development.

It helped me apply myself and make an immediate impact in cross functional areas of the business as I encountered opportunities for improvement. RRD calls it a platform for professional and career growth and I couldn’t agree more."

"The Associate Program helped me realize how much of an impact each employee can have in every company. By being involved in day-to-day activities as an Associate, I was able to learn how each department functioned and how employees interacted with each other to produce finished goods.

Now as a Print Production Specialist, I credit my Associate Program experience for helping shape my career path. It showed me the big picture of manufacturing and how to better communicate it to sales reps and our clients."

"The Associate Program was a great kickstart to my career with RRD. Through this program I was able to make connections with established sales reps who became mentors, learn about RRD's various platforms, and gain the knowledge needed to successfully discuss RRD's large portfolio of capabilities with our clients.

In just two years, I was given the opportunity to transition into management as an Assistant Regional Sales Manager. Looking ahead, the idea of furthering my career within RRD is exciting and no doubt full of opportunities."

"I have gained exposure to so many parts of RRD's business through this program. In just a short time, I have learned a lot through my hands-on rotations, mentorship and training, and the support of my local leaders and the Associate Program leadership team.

The Sales Track provided me everything I needed to start my sales career at RRD with confidence and enthusiasm."

"Being a part of the Finance Associate Program gave me the opportunity to explore the different segments of finance without having to immediately work in just one department right out of college.

With rotations in Audit, Tax, FP&A, and Controller's Group over a two year period, I was able to work on unique projects that helped me develop useful skills, see the day-to-day operations of how each department functions, meet and work with multiple people within RRD, understand how all of these areas of the organization work together, and ultimately select to work long-term in an area that best fit my skills and interests."

"Right now, I’m gaining the skills and tools to be successful in a sales career. From one-on-one coaching and weekly group sessions to a nationally-recognized sales training curriculum, I know RRD and its Associate Program is setting me up for success as a sales professional. It’s also providing skills applicable to everyday life. Plus, I’m meeting some amazing people from all over the country along the way."
