Pros

Still good pay, and decent benefits overall.

Cons

Working there over 30 years, I have seen many changes in every facet of the business. SCA/Essity talks about collaboration, and caring, but the truth is completely opposite. Management chooses to make all the decisions without any collaboration with Operational or Maintenance personnel. They are making costly errors by doing so. No trust or faith in employees. More adversarial then I've ever seen. Many large losses due to lack of action by management to get spending approvals done in a timely manor. I have seen a continued decline in efficiency due to managerial conduct.
