Pros
You must be nimble to thrive in the paper business as Neenah has. Leadership really listens to employees, values their diverse perspectives, and is willing to act from their input. I have been given latitude to define the direction of my team and execute against that strategy - something other large corporations seem to find hard to allow. It is almost a shock, in a good way, to be empowered to make the best choice for my area and not have my boss block changes I plan to make; I have experienced false empowerment in a previous role at a larger corporation in the past.
Cons
Being a customer-oriented business, operations often has to juggle jobs to ensure short lead time orders can be completed. There is current focus around better synchronizing planning and operations, so I trust this will improve.
