Pros

Get plenty of hours and plenty of time work to do.

Cons

Color really matters... Never have time for anything but to work and they treat there employee like crap. Then if you have a problem ( especially involving one of there friend or family member) which they tell you to address them with but really if you do you are just making it worser for yourself. They only care for the work for the company. The people at this company is very sexist and racist. This company really needs to be under investigation. Then when it's time for you to have your day off they make you work while they at home. They don't care even if it a family emergency and you have proof to provide, you still stand a chance of getting fired and you are going to get pointed it doesn't matter... They only care about the job. Even in the office part there is only one black and the only way she got there was by transfer... You stand no chance to advance with this company if your not a part of them..

Pros

Great opportunity to become a versatile asset to IP and any other organization in your future endeavors. Ample training that can be tailored to your career path. Lots of opportunity for growth within the company.

Cons

Requires multiple/random late nights and weekend duty. Although the company as a whole is top-tier, the Bogalusa location has some major holes when it comes racial inequality (just look at the turn over rate for minorities in salary positions). This is done by keeping 1 or 2 minorities engaged and screwing the rest, may be due to the culture of the city and mill (google it).
