Business Outlook
Pros
They will do the best they can to retain their cooperate staff in these difficult economic times; as long as you have pulled your share. The paper industry is not going any where anytime soon and International Paper is very involved in conservation and sustainable practices. Company is very active in international expansion.
Cons
Very conservative cooperate environment and overly traditional. The one progressive change they made was too drastic and incorrect; selling all of the land. They also terminated the pension program recently. Project management regularly incorrectly estimates, and is too accommodating to schedule slippage and budget overflows. Outsourcing is becoming a common practice.
