Pros

High rate of pay (compared to other jobs in the area).Opportunity for overtime occasionally.

Cons

One of the only ways 'in' to a job at sappi is by way of their temporary summer employment program. If you take a summer job then there's no guarantee that you'll be offered a full time position in the fall so it's risky.
