Pros

Great 401k match; the benefits are rich and the pay is very competitive.

Cons

Salary positions feel more like an hourly time-puncher. To leave 15 minutes before 5pm, you better work through lunch or come in early. Not all departments are time way but HR is not aware how to treat salary employees.

Pros

They really care about your education and will put you where your interests are. Have the flexibility to work overtime. Great place to learn as well as awesome salary for college students

Cons

Supervisors play the "I'm better than you" B.S With everyone that works with them, they generally work poorly as a team together because they think they know best or more without looking at all facets. Some are very manipulative and are not very understanding nor try to be. The younger managers have a hard time understanding work/life balance in fact, I don't think they care. A bit sexist at times....

Pros

Domtar pays an amazing hourly wage even at entry level. They have great benefits including a decent health plan and retirement options.

Cons

The environment is very hot and the work never slows down. Although safety is the word on everyone's lips it seems to be just that. An empty word. The departments are run by the most senior hourly wage earners rather than management, therefor the mill retains an "old school" mentality of get it done fast and now unless management is watching.
