Domtar reviews

Bad employee relations at Kingsport Mill mostly due to current and inept mill leadership. Specifically there is deviant and deceptive practices practiced by mill management and hr management, and are the new norm. Culture of mis-trust permeates in mill meetings and on the plant floor. Arrogant mill management (corrupted by new powers) and aloof, unavailable HR management at Kingsport - both turn a lot of folks off. Employee strife and discord are rampant - behind the scenes or behind the glass door. Both bad hourly and salaried relations are mostly covered up to Corporate Domtar team - despite routine or regular 800 number breach of ethics calls by employees - based on poor ethics; Deceptive management practices are the new common way to get rid of supervisors, managers and employees. It is also a favorites' type compensation system at Kingsport - there are plenty of examples where it is NOT based on mill department performance but who their favorites/cronies are at any time. If you are desperate and local to Kingsport, then this may be the place for you have to work but if not, run the other way... there are much better mill/factory cultures out there for principled folks that value straight-dealing, honesty and work/life balance.

Overloaded and not able to take 2 straight weeks vacation. Lack of expertise in some of the new projects as the best employees left the company.
