Stable, poor supervisors

Pros

For a timber company, it is a very stable place to work. Health insurance is pretty good. HSA contribution and 401k match. If you start from the bottom you will progress quickly to the mid level of your position.

Cons

With stability comes lower pay for the skilled positions. Most of the supervisors have poor people skills, most don't recognize the positive and focus on when you make mistakes. Progression is limited, especially in the area of skilled trades, top level isn't very attainable. Lots of talk about getting people to those positions, in reality it's not what you know, or how you do your job, but how you are perceived. To be fair, There are some good managers and supervisors, this is just my recent experience.

So much potential, such bad leadership

Pros

Great business and great people...long history of profit for a family owned business. Lots of people stay for decades. Would have loved to end my career there.

Cons

Leadership is terrible. Current COO/CFO who came on board in 2011 is a poor manager and leader. Unethical and definitely has issues with women in leadership positions. Too bad the Board did not step up.

Pros

Culture, People, Benefits, Pay & Locations.

Cons

Portland Management - horrible group. This poor management group trickles down to all levels of the company and people (good people) continue to leave left and right. It's always the best that leave first.
