Pros

A lot of really good and intelligent folks work here - there was little drama, and everyone just wanted to do a good job both for the customer and company.

Cons

The new senior management does not consider employees useful, and provides little support or explanation for their ridiculous and ever-changing structure. Changes happen before they're announced. Metrics are impossible, constantly required, and then completely ignored.

Pros

Hourly rate of pay Vending machines

Cons

There are entirely way to many CONS. I will say the executive management is unprofessional, arrogant, conceited and downright rude. It’s iron fist ruling or nothing. The planning department plans work and has no idea the process in which they plan for and their continuous mistakes only impacts the mill worker. They go home after 8hrs and have every weekend/holiday off. Poor planning on their part is now your emergency. There should be ABOVE THE LINE ACCOUNTABILITY. The hiring process is nonexistent. It was once an aptitude test with multiple interviews and if you’ll work out well in a heavy manufacturing environment and your past experience now its if you have a heart beat. If you enjoy 7 days a week NONSTOP, 16hr shift every 3rd week of rotation, missing every family event, having to beg a fellow coworker qualified on your position to work your shift and yup, his then to so 16hrs for him so you can have off to attend your child’s birthday party or sporting event, working holidays, like being told your best isn’t good enough, enjoy your perks of being an employee taken away, executives telling you it’s not their fault they went to college which is why they get off holidays and you don’t, well this is your type of employer

Pros

Salary is median for stress level and time commitment. Major gap between middle management and senior executive group. Doing more with less people and not replacing those who left is taking it's toll on everyone. No pros at this organization. Ask anyone in the production or middle management levels.

Cons

Top Management is very condescending and they bully middle management. Expect long hours during the week and time in on the weekends. Targets are always stretch goals with no in-between. All blame is on the middle management group no matter the efforts.
