Weyerhaeuser reviews

Working once a week on maintenance days which means you have to clean and remove very dirty, Dusty and wet debris from under very hot conditions and in between very confined spaces and dirty machines... Inhaling lots of saw dust on those days is bad... Really bad... Those days it makes you ponder why you are there. Also the senior Reman guys have a thing for political complaining and are never happy. Some of them don't have to work on maintenance days and have it so good but yet complain like no one else. If they like you then they will recommend you for a position otherwise good luck. In general management is ok but most people there think is really bad compared to the past. Safety is huge in this company and sometimes extreme but necessarily. The exposure to radiation although minimal is there as well as asbestos... It's everywhere. So be aware. As a mill this are expected but to be mentioned. It's hard to get along with most people there as they have worked there for 30+ years and they have an old school mentality. Sometimes seems like there's too much downtime which makes your 12 hours shifts super long.

The best leaders are rarely promoted. It’s old school style management. You have to be a real jerk those you manage to get promoted. They do not train people to be leaders. Instead, people are only trained to be managers. There’s no room for errors or mistakes. Those who make them, which we all do periodically, are made examples of by those seeking promotions. You make yourself look good by making others look bad. Moral isn’t high but pressure is. Everyone feels very replaceable. In addition to your core responsibilities, you are expected to take on many other ones. Examples are lead roles in safety training, environmental audits, accident investigation, ergonomicsAn example is safety meeting and numerous reports and investigations. You expected to the in a safety program also. If someone slips ups and gets hurt, you have to discipline them. Plus, you will be disciplined as well; possible terminated! The expectation is for an immense amount of information tracking and reporting. Be prepared for an incredible number of meetings weekly, which takes time away from completing and keeping up with core responsibilities.
