Pros

Great Pay and great team to work with. Relatively pleasant union to work with.

Cons

Superintendents on paper machines eliminated preventing a supervisor or process engineer from growing. No ownership of anything on paper machines. One engineer is swamped all the projects while the other twittle their thumbs. Shift supervisors left to run the show blindly, with no appreciation. HR is forgetting the H. Good ol' boys club in management. High Plant Manager turnover and short-sighted goals. Lack of accountability.

Pros

The employees within operations department are like family. Pay was decent

Cons

HR does not take complaints and issues seriously. The entire HR department does not abide by their own policies and are very unethical. Favoritism is how you get ahead in this company. The management does not care about their employees, just the bottom line. Quantity of product is more important than safety and quality. Very unfair treatment to any one positioned below upper management. Corporate turns a blind eye to what is really going on.
