Pros
Lots of opportunity to grow within the company and branch out into different roles. Salary is good for my role because I am coming in with more experience that most in this position, otherwise the compensation would be fair. Great company with strong culture that is continuously praised for its values. Fortune 500 company that is always ranked as the most admired companies to work for. Overall, the people at IP are fantastic. Safety is #1 here. Retirement program is company matched 401k options.
Cons
Health insurance is a little high, although a free program exists within the company that reduces your monthly costs. I have not yet used the insurance so I cannot speak to the quality of Cigna. The locations of many International Paper mills are something to be desired. Some mills are closer to cities with amenities, but a lot of far away from places you would prefer to live. IP recently did away with their pension program. Some systems are old, but are always being improved.
