Pros

Good pay, decent insurance, safety focused.

Cons

Supervisors are terrible. WIll set unrealistic expectations and lie to you, being thrown under the bus to make your supervisor look good is only a matter of time.

Cons

-Cloquet mill is very disorganized and chaotic -Near constant reactive "firefighting" operations -Maintenance department is not treated as a partner, but rather as a servant -Training in maintenance is a joke
