Pros

-They do the minimum to maintain a competitive position in the industry to attract new talent (good starting wage, average starting vacation, average benefits) -Good ability to move around and explore different roles and opportunities in the company (ie, offered a shift mill manager position w/ less than a year of experience) -Will hire readily if you co-oped with them -My mill does 9/80 schedules where you can take every other Friday off, if you've put in 80 hours in the previous 9 days

Cons

-Word of mouth says it's difficult to move up the company ladder if you are unwilling to switch mills or companies -Entry level pay is not adjusted for the location you are in. My starting offer would be the same at a mill in a lower cost of living area. -Not much is done to build employee relationships outside of work, especially noticed by the younger employees.

Pros

Schedule, flexibility, pay, co- workers, relationships

Cons

No COLA, annual reviews pushed back, comp reviews consistently pushed back even further. Non value added meetings & ‘fluff’ with Koch book reading requirements (which directly conflict in the respect philosophy when it comes to comp reviews), no consistency in business units- ie. Moving from one to another group a vast difference in how they treat/respect employees
