There is virtually zero upline at RRD in plant customer service. Once you top out in rank/pay, you're stagnant. No opportunities for professional growth with company recognition or funding.

Zero assistance, recognition or professional benefit. I feel stifled. I constantly remind myself that "talent moves up or out." There is no "up" here - only out.
