Pros

None. Unless you thrive in a bully environment

Cons

No bonuses except management. Manager turn over is once a year and to boot they have no idea about the department they were hired to manage. Just imagine for a second, you work in IT and your senior leader has never worked in IT. Couple that with recording and reporting them for being a bully and they target you. Thought HR was there to enforce the rules, but I guess management is excluded. Makes sense when the head of HR has never worked a real job a day in her life and personifies the bully attitude.

Pros

Good benefits and competitive pay structure. You won't get rich at Mativ but you will make a competitive wage. Sales teams are mostly autonomous and given enough rope to do their jobs. Midwest manufacturing locations are some of the nicest and most helpful people I've ever worked with.

Cons

Mativ exists in mature and mostly declining business segments which makes sales growth a struggle. Atlanta Corp HQ is largely an inbred mess and a huge financial drain on the company. Many friends and cronies brought over from other companies (Georgia Pacific, Newell Brands) and there has been huge corporate turnover recently. Some of the financial gain and grift that I have seen from senior management is appalling. Publicly traded company so do your research. Pretty much anyone with tenured industry experience has retired or left the company. Management level industry knowledge is very limited.
