Pros

Fast decision making, team orientated no politics atmosphere. Best practices sharing is encouraged, Easy intranet communication between different units worldwide. Affordable benefit package includes health insurance, dental 401k, life insurance. Good relations between management and union labor.

Cons

Sometimes too fast decision making; if bottom line stays red too long, the operation unit will be closed down. However, employees are treated decent and means provided to find new opportunities

Pros

Teams in North America are the hardest working individuals. They have incredible talent and are extremely supportive.

Cons

Every part of UPM is controlled and ran by management in Europe. This means that the teams in other regions are stifled, siloed, and become stagnant. This alienates innovation and process improvement, perpetuating an atmosphere where talent cannot be maintained or grow.
