Pros

Investment that management has in the team of employees. Safety driven culture. Pay compensation is good.

Cons

Benefits in terms of 401k as this is the lowest matching company that I have worked for to date.

Pros

The only thing I can say with a positive is there 401 plan and that’s about all

Cons

Too many hours,and when a holiday comes up you have to make the days up that’s just wrong. Most of the boss’s are arrogant and treat the employees as such.They hired a mill manager that used to run a bakery! Come on! That’s no way to run a mill.When an employee has a great idea to make the job better and more profitable they kick it under the carpet or they tell upper management that they had a great idea.

Pros

Good pay and good benefits. Growing company, room for advancement. A decent focus on safety, although sometimes manipulated by lower level employees because of the huge focus/pressure on the "appearance" of safety.

Cons

No work/life balance. Long hours for lower/mid level salary folks like sawmill supervision (65 - 70+ hrs per week). Tons of initiatives piled on low/mid level management with no real support, "just do it" mentality. No respect for many good experienced employees from acquired mills, the Interfor Way is the only way. Way too many managers from corporate visiting mills that don't know what is really going on in a mill. A manager of everything you can think of from corporate would come to mill to point out what was wrong, but no clear instruction on how to improve or no tools provided to do it with. High turnover at all levels. Little regard for anyone at the mill level.
