Pros

The company is very large, lots of mobility, well established, training was very good. Good compensation package. Employees are well compensated too. Mentoring program was there but mentors need to be trained. They stressed safety....this was very high point for me personally. They never did anything unsafe.

Cons

There was to many layers of managers. When something needed to be reviewed it took two layers of managers above you to get it done. When issues would be brought to the attention of managers it was never addressed it would always be a finger pointing game. It should have been lets work together get this problem fixed. Liked to play the blame game You could not review or rate upper management. Unprofessional upper managers. Upper management did not care why supervisor turnover was so high. It appeared that they were not interested High supervisor turnover..within a year 1/3 of my colleagues changed. While in meetings not treated with respect. Talked down to. Threats of termination is were often while in group meeting.

Pros

Great money!, hourly, overtime and profit sharing. NEVER hassled about time off EVER! Lots of additional trade training. My opinion and experience counts. They have an excellent safety program and they take safety very seriously. Everyone is equal, you can talk to anyone from supervisors and area managers all the way up to the mill manager anytime about anything. I like the atmosphere, it's laid back when things are going good and serious and challenging when they aren't.

Cons

Typical stuff like lack of communication, why don't they fix this or that, nothing to lose sleep over. I can't think of anything that would make me want to seek another job.
