Pros

-As a millwright, I have been challenged every step of the way here and have learned more each day. -Interfor puts a lot of effort into giving out company surveys, having the employees review the pros and cons of the survey, and coming up with ways to change the negative. -I've had 3 raises in 2 years, and 1 bonus. -This company has been fair to me for the most part.

Cons

-Seems it has turned into profits before people with all the continuous layoffs. -Way too many members of management walking around with hands in their pockets while most departments are short handed. -The insurance has been getting consistently worse each year. Knowing they will not change plans even through 2015 is reason enough to have to find a job with better insurance. -Safety policy is too strict. Termination after 2 incidents in 2 years is pretty tough considering sawmills are dangerous places to work to begin with. -I've seen over 5 millwrights, 3 truck shop mechanics, 5 electricians, and a few boiler operators leave in under 2 years for various reasons but mostly brought on by stress from management.
