Pros

- Paycheck always on time - Opportunities for some(friends and brown nosers) - Modern Mill

Cons

- Management is strictly about numbers and nothing else... Adams lake sawmill used to be such a community orientated place to work. There used to be a community that lived right on the site. This community orientated values are what drove this mill to outperform the rest, and now that is all gone. We don't even have a Christmas party. - Moral is terribly low, current manager trying to change this with 'round table meetings' although little to no action from employee inputs are being done. - Under pay certain positions because its a non-union site. - Because there is no union everyone backstabs each other to get up the ladder or make themselves look better. The culture is very cut-throat. - Most employees not even getting full time hours anymore. Hard to make ends meet.

Pros

Interfor really values education and development, It's a really good environment, you got to create it for opportunities for yourself, very solid place to work. Management has your back. Many long term employees in the forestry industry.

Cons

If you don't request what you want and work with management, no one is going to give it to you. If you are an employee who expects to be babied, not the place for you.

Pros

The paycheque always cashes and it is modern sawmill . Nice view of the lake . Could make a very good reality t.v. show here.

Cons

A very hard place to work mentally. Lean and mean if you have a blue collar. I wouldn't recomend it to anyone with trade skills anymore.
