Business Outlook
Pros
*Great opportunities for advancement, not just at your own mill, but at other locations within the company. *IP does a great job training their engineers and management in problem solving techniques, leadership classes, technical training from experts, etc. *Pay is great. One of the highest paying employers in the locations I have been in. *I loves the transparency within the company. As a new engineer, I had several opportunities to interact with senior Vice Presidents and the CEO.
Cons
*Work/life balance is not good. Expected to work long hours with no comp time. *New engineers are expected to work as a shift manager within their first few years. Many are not interested in this, but it's pretty much forced in order to advance.
