Pros

Some of the co-workers share knowledge and support each other. Mill people are very supportive and share information.

Cons

The good ole boy network starts with some of the managers. One manager has set up employee's to fail. If you excel or try to move up, you are made to look bad. Bonuses are given out to favorite employees, not tied to performance. The yearly PMP's are a joke. The manager determines the grade. I was once told outstanding grades are only given to the manager and regardless of how well I excel, I would never qualify for outstanding marks. There is prejudice and discrimination toward minorities in Sappi North America, look at the company mix of employee's to confirm my belief.

Pros

Great coworkers, hard working and care about the future of the company. Good benefits, above average pay for the area.

Cons

Leadership seemed to be disconnected from the rest of the company. In a shrinking industry doing more with less was a way of life. Advancement opportunities are limited if you are not one of the selected few.
