Thank you for taking the time to leave a review. We appreciate hearing from former team members, especially those who spent several years with us. We’re pleased to hear that salary and benefits felt competitive and that you found Sappi to be a generally positive place to work. At the same time, we’re sorry to hear that your experience felt unstable. While we haven’t seen high turnover within the sales organization overall, we recognize that individual experiences can vary, and we’re always looking for ways to improve consistency and support across teams. Thanks again for your time at Sappi. We hope your current role has been positive for you.
