Pros

Great benefits company paid health, life, s/l term disability insurance. Dental and vision available for minimal rate. 401K match. Company often gives employees Enviva gear ( shirts, hats, coats etc) to boost moral. Company provides meals every holiday, outage, and to celebrate goal achievements. Pay rate is above average compared to almost all competition in the area ( at least the area I work). Paid Holidays and time and a half for worked holidays. Yearly cost of living wage increase. Every other Friday, Sat, and Sun off. Management is approachable.

Cons

Swing shift work, two weeks day shift two weeks night shift. 12 hour shifts, but on a rotation that allows 14 days off per month. Plant operates 365 days a year, not shut down for major holidays. Not much promoting from within. They tend to hire from the outside, rather than develop the employees already working for them. Also when an employee performs especially well in a certain job position, they tend to keep you stuck in that position for their benefit rather than allow you to move up to a better position. Then don't reward you with raises to show appreciation for excellent performance, where you would have got a pay increase moving to that higher position that they keep you from doing.

Pros

Enviva now has a leadership team that is committed to improving by providing the right resources for employees and facilities. The new culture being built is a 180 of what it was a few years ago.

Cons

Corporate support still sometimes out of touch with sites.

Pros

He was the only positive thing about this company

Cons

Toxic work environment, forced or made to feel guilty or inferior if you did not work 18 to 20 hours a day. I could go on and on.
