Pros

The salary and benefit packages are competitive within their respective markets. As a leader in the pulp and paper market there are many operations throughout the US therefore affording opportunities for growth and advancement. Diversity within the company's senior leadership team all the way down to the production floor provides a culture that reflects the communities and customers they service.

Cons

Information doesn't flow as smoothly as it should. Communication can be slow to filter down to those who carry out the orders. Changes in processes or procedures are not presented effectively at times. Often those responsible for implementing these changes arent sufficiently informed/trained on the new process and therefore unable to effectively train the employees who are affected by the change.
