Pros

There are some great people to work with in the salaried and hourly ranks. The pay is acceptable for the area. The mill used to be (and could be again) one of the flagships of GP.

Cons

The management hides their indiscretions behind the veneer of MBM Principals. They will talk about integrity and then lay off a third of the salary work force with no warning (August 2016). The union tends to write grievances as a tool to further their cause, The mill is quickly on its way to being on of the worst managed paper mills in the country, The turnover rate is very high, with most of the high value, high performing, knowledgeable workers leaving for better jobs.

Pros

Schedule, flexibility, pay, co- workers, relationships

Cons

No COLA, annual reviews pushed back, comp reviews consistently pushed back even further. Non value added meetings & ‘fluff’ with Koch book reading requirements (which directly conflict in the respect philosophy when it comes to comp reviews), no consistency in business units- ie. Moving from one to another group a vast difference in how they treat/respect employees
