Begrudgingly get out of bed in the morning for another day at this company.....
Pros
Great people to work with (for the most part). New Group CEO who doesn't come from South Africa. Some leadership team members are a pleasure to work with. Good 401k plan. Location in South Portland or Boston is good for non-mill people.
Cons
Lead team disjointed. Manufacturing focused, and 1950's management style. Systems are antiquated and data mining tools haphazardly rolled out by IT folks, not business users. CYA mentality and lack of true leadership at the CEO level (in North America). Bonus plan attractive, but rarely does it pay out. Stock options are a joke and aren't worth the price of the paper they are printed on. PMP process (performance management) collaborative in some functions, but in others you had better make sure that you don't have any "old tapes" or your career is ruined. Favoritism abounds, especially if you go snowmobiling with the CEO or drive a pick-up truck. Stress levels always elevated. No room for growth given the tenure of "paper" people.
