Pros

You can make a lot of money here…. Continued below. We get KFC on Mondays.

Cons

You can make a lot of money here…. But you’ll have to sacrifice your home life and any resemblance of a life to really make it. We are in a perpetual state of forced overtime due to staffing issues. Staffing issues that are only going to continue to worsen due to impending retirees and the fact that the very small amount of new hires that we do obtain quit within just a few weeks. There doesn’t seem to be any concern from the HR department about these facts. There also seems to be a huge disconnect between HR/upper level management and hourly employees; and the upper level salary employees seem to revel in that. Almost like we’re two sides in a constant battle.

Pros

Close knit excellent maintenance teams that seem to do the impossible with the amount of understaffing over the years. Couldn't ask for a better place or people to work with. I have loved my time at this mill. Domtar has no idea at the quality of the institution\people that they are casting off into the abyss.

Cons

The corporation as a whole I am not a fan of. It seems they acquired Resolute FP to strategically dismantle it. They have closed several of the RFP mills and Coosa Pines an absolute institution that has been the backbone of the community for over 75 years is the next on the chopping block in May 2026.
