Pros

Managers and the mill technicians make decent pay.

Cons

We used to have decent health insurance, but not anymore. Do not like the consumer driven health plan that has been forced on us. Our HR department is a joke. They never answer their phones, or email it seems. And in the past year our HR manager has hired two friends and a couple of nephews. They no longer seem to look at people already employed for promoting them to higher paying positions. It's discouraging for employees that have been there for years. And they never seem to follow through with things they say they are going to do. Top heavy in senior management. Some seem to rattle on with long winded speeches just to hear themselves talk.

Pros

It has good benefits. Can't think of anything else.

Cons

Poor management mentality. Asian company for Asian people (mandarin/indonesian languages might be necessary to understand the company culture). Toxic environment.
