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.

Pros

Pay is good and bonuses were a nice surprise. Doing well financially.

Cons

Staffed way too lean. No diversity beyond gender/female leaders. No vision for working on this either. White men get most of the good press and good rotation assignments in corporate. In mfg unions pretty much run the show and seniority is overemphasized. Policies around conduct are not applied evenly. There are not many hr people beyond generalists so it's not likely that anything will change for the better because everyone is too busy responding to crisis and they don't have time to make plans
