Pros

There are some great people to work with in the salaried and hourly ranks. The pay is acceptable for the area. The mill used to be (and could be again) one of the flagships of GP.

Cons

The management hides their indiscretions behind the veneer of MBM Principals. They will talk about integrity and then lay off a third of the salary work force with no warning (August 2016). The union tends to write grievances as a tool to further their cause, The mill is quickly on its way to being on of the worst managed paper mills in the country, The turnover rate is very high, with most of the high value, high performing, knowledgeable workers leaving for better jobs.

Pros

Autonomy Remote work opportunities Decent Pay - only if you negotiate it

Cons

Zero training Poor leadership Lack of recognition Constant focus on “closing gaps” - you’ll spend all your time talking about less than 2% of revenue/profit Inconsistent bonus payouts with no metrics to understand how they arrive at a figure No clarity on how to achieve pay increases. Constant responsibilities added to your role that were not previously part of the role you were hired for.
