Pros

Pay is decent. Schedule isn't to bad. Gives you alot of off days.

Cons

Management!!!! No hr at our plant. When a job comes available they just give it to whoever there friend is that drinks beer with them. They never post a job opening. No opportunity to move up unless you hangout with supervisor on your offer days. Don't care if you have 5 point or no points as long as they like you.

Pros

Great benefits, good pay, communication is excellent, treat employees with respect. I couldn't be more content. Home most nights and off weekends. Safety driven and caring.

Cons

If you're not afraid to work you'll love it here. Long days and early mornings.

Pros

Wage is competitive, Benefits are better than a lot of smaller Co.

Cons

Management is multi layered and Antiquated. Production workers truly receive no respect from Co. You are just a "body" to feel a "spot" you are expendable, and they let you know this. Micromanaged like I have ever encountered. Rumors run rampant and Management is just as bad. You can not miss any work, do not get hurt or you will be singled out until you break. This Co. Allows the bullies to run over other employees and lets "these type" of bullies to have the better jobs as long as they "report" their distorted view of what happens on the daily~ Horrible place to work but there are not many mills left in the area. You will be hard pressed to find a Happy, Content employee.
