Pros

Location was great and that's about all

Pros

Some of the hourly people are good people

Cons

Management is absolutely terrible. The mill manager is the most narcissistic sociopath I’ve ever run across. Turnover is extremely high for both salary and hourly. The safety position changes people every 18 months or less. The mill is old and not likely to exist much longer. Someone is going to be killed there due to incompetence—don’t let it be you!

Money is great but you work for it
