Pros

Pays wells, big focus on safety

Cons

Closed our mill without warning. Didn’t try to change management or bring in corporate people just closed. 300 people lost their jobs on a random Tuesday. Most found out about it from the weatherman’s Facebook post.

Pros

Close knit excellent maintenance teams that seem to do the impossible with the amount of understaffing over the years. Couldn't ask for a better place or people to work with. I have loved my time at this mill. Domtar has no idea at the quality of the institution\people that they are casting off into the abyss.

Cons

The corporation as a whole I am not a fan of. It seems they acquired Resolute FP to strategically dismantle it. They have closed several of the RFP mills and Coosa Pines an absolute institution that has been the backbone of the community for over 75 years is the next on the chopping block in May 2026.
