Pros

For a timber company, it is a very stable place to work. Health insurance is pretty good. HSA contribution and 401k match. If you start from the bottom you will progress quickly to the mid level of your position.

Cons

With stability comes lower pay for the skilled positions. Most of the supervisors have poor people skills, most don't recognize the positive and focus on when you make mistakes. Progression is limited, especially in the area of skilled trades, top level isn't very attainable. Lots of talk about getting people to those positions, in reality it's not what you know, or how you do your job, but how you are perceived. To be fair, There are some good managers and supervisors, this is just my recent experience.
