Thank you for taking the time to leave a review. We're pleased to hear you saw value in our investment in equipment and talent, and we appreciate your kind words about our leadership team. We also hear your concerns. When someone describes the day-to-day as toxic and pressured, it signals that the interpersonal environment may not have felt fair, respectful, or supportive. That’s not the experience we want anyone to have, and we take that kind of feedback seriously. Even though your review is from a while back, your comments have been shared with HR and leadership at the Somerset mill as part of our continued effort to improve the workplace culture and ensure employees feel heard and valued. We appreciate your time with Sappi and hope that your work since then has been positive.

Thanks for taking the time to share your experience. Even though your review is from a while back, we're listening and we appreciate your honesty. We’re pleased to hear the work-life balance and salary stood out as positives during your time with us. At the same time, it’s tough to read that you felt undervalued and disconnected from leadership. That’s not how we want anyone to feel here. Your input has been shared with our HR and leadership teams as part of our ongoing efforts to keep improving how we show up for our employees. Feedback like yours helps reinforce why that work matters. Wishing you continued growth and success in whatever direction you've gone since your time with Sappi.
