      Poor working environment at HQ

      Pros

      Considered one of the largest Pulp producers in Canada- backed by large Asian conglomerate that can provide influence in the overall market. Revived remote areas/community in which they operate in.

      Cons

      - Incompetent Chairman who created a toxic environment where there's no trust among his management team - Lack of leadership and accountability from the management side, no one questioned nor stood up to the Shareholder - Lots of bureaucracy and politics within departments - Poor working condition - long hours, lack of direction and recognition, inappropriate comments and borderline harassment

      Pros

      Domtar is still the best among the competitors in the present down paper market. The industry is not at its best time, for sure.

      Cons

      Projects to harmonize multiple IT systems are on hold for undetermined period of time. HR policy in terms of vacation time is very inflexible. Management doesn't encourage feedback if it's not in line with what they expect. They are trying too hard to please the upper level and not takingenough care of their subordinates. But shouldn't it be vise versa, since it's your employees that make you a stronger leader?
