Pros

Money good,good co workers, if everybody can click and have multiple talents when the knowledge is needed you don't get the deer in the headlight look from your boss who knows how to run his mouth to the wrong people

Cons

Area bosses are puppets and tell the big guy exactly what they want to hear. Too many contractors working in the mill when we are short in production and maintenance. Bosses get a bonus where in my mind 4 or 5 out of 70 deserve them. Production works 24/7 and bosses get mad when they have to make a trip in on a "day off" very few dedicated and caring salary people. 90+% live out of town and are not dedicated

Pros

Overall Domtar is a good place to work. Most managers treat their employees well. Pay and benefits are good. Good work environment.

Cons

Because this is a good place to work, few people leave. As a result opportunities to advance don't come around that often and when they do, all too often, Domtar elects to go outside the company as opposed to giving their own employees a chance.

Pros

Industry standard salary and benefits. Not much pros to tell about this Asian company. Ok to work here rather than being unemployed.

Cons

Very poor management. The Indian CEO is trying to fill up the plants with Indian people, while firing or laid off Canadian employees.
