Pros

Colleagues are great, work/life balance maintained. My department was very flexible, helpful and friendly. Benefits are great; 401k match, etc - until 2018 when medical was changed to consumer driven program. Domtar offers lots of educational & volunteer opportunities. CEO and Ft. Mill upper management make a point to know employees by name.

Cons

Beware of backstabbers, as in any company. Pay equity is not good. Exec Admins make an average of $5k more than "regular" Admins having the same tasks & responsibilities. Medical benefits are more expensive to the employees now.

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.
