Pros

The pay and benifits for working with IP is a definite positive. With the exception of shiftworkers, flexibility of hours to fit your home life are is also a positive. International Paper does well at family and community relations. They go out of their way to do the right thing when it come taking care of employees and employee families.

Cons

Most managers at IP do not seem to relate to hourly workers. Communications from salaried to hourly workers, and hourly to salaried workers is poor at best. Like most U.S. based companies, Inernational Paper is downsizing regularly. The impact on employees and community are always going to be a "downside".

Pros

IP has sent me to all parts of the US. I have worked on several different projects that allowed me to take ownership and receive credit for the work that I accomplished. IP has been understanding and supportive when I needed them to be. The pay seems to be on par with other careers. Upper management is accessible and as friendly as I would expect an executive to be. I am very satisfied working for IP.

Cons

Relocation is a necessity if you want to move up in the company. You could just stay at corporate, but, unless you have prior experience in the field, you are only going to move up so far before you level out.
