Hostile upper management at corporate level

Machine operator

Recommend

CEO approval

Business Outlook

Pros

Good pay, hourly workers are like family. Many of us have been working here for over 30 years. We like it, its a good place to work.

Cons

We used to be Boise Cascade. Since PCA bought out Boise we have been dealing with a corporate management with little dog syndrome. It creates a hostile work environment. Yelling and cursing at direct reports in front of hourly, etc. Our organization has lost a lot of knowledge due to this behavior. Many senior employees left for a better working experience.

Company's Wall Street Performance Valued Above People

Anonymous employee

Recommend

CEO approval

Business Outlook

Pros

Salary and benefits are above industry standards. No formal, forced performance metrics or evaluations for salaries/bonus. Supervisors are to know specifically what you are doing and how you are performing.

Cons

Salary and benefits are above industry standards due to 24/7/365 access to employee "requirements". Vacations are to be taken; however if called you have less than 24 hours to get back to whatever deemed emergency needed you physically on site. High turnover in all positions that are below the VP level. Remaining staff is doing the jobs off all unfilled positions. Cost cutting, personnel layoffs, postponing customer payments are driven by Wall Street commitments at quarter end reporting to hit numbers. Executive integrity does not exist. The emperor is never told he is wrong which also transfers to the Senior VP's and business units.
