Working at Xerox in Rochester, NY: 25 Employee Job Reviews by Real Employee working in Rochester, NY Area

"I only worked for Xerox for 2 weeks because my manager was not willing to work with me collectively on the project and had poor expectation of me."

"I have worked at xerox for 8 months. I have learned a lot and I am really enjoying my time here."

"Xerox is a good company with good work environment for staff and on the cutting edge of technology."

"There is little chance of movement. Xerox is gaining market share of a shrinking market. Unless you are in the Rochester/Webster area, you have little chance of moving up or getting on interesting projects. I think it is a short matter of time before even larger layoffs occur in the IT space. Should that happen, there are too few IT jobs in this area. Those laid off would likely need to move to stay in IT."

"The work load and delivery of printers was intermittent, and most often never received 40 hr work week as promised."

"Over the 30+ years I have been with the company, I have watched it struggle to catch up with competitors while trying to cut costs. Cut backs in every area have kept them from bankruptcy but we have gone from the Cadillac of machines and customer service to the Yugo. Impossible targets and no raises in many years, except for upper management. Don't order parts from suppliers at end of quarter so profits look better. Who cares if we can't fix the machine. Typical examples of the "penny-wise, pound-foolish" environment."

"Sales is in a death spiral cutting back on training and support constantly."

"I have worked for Xerox for about 4 years now. I am not happy because the position I am in offers no room for advancement. Additionally the company only thinks about the bottom line and doesn't care if the employees suffer a wage loss."

"I've worked for Xerox for 3 years as a software developer. The people are great (in my experience), but the things we do completely stagnate after a few years. There isn't really any innovation at a fast-pace, and you don't really get recognized for your work too often. You can learn a lot in the first few years, but you will get bored quickly. I'd say it's an average place to work, mostly because it's bureaucratic, but relaxed. The people are the real reason to work here."

"Daily work is fun; rewards lacking."
