      Pros

      -They do the minimum to maintain a competitive position in the industry to attract new talent (good starting wage, average starting vacation, average benefits) -Good ability to move around and explore different roles and opportunities in the company (ie, offered a shift mill manager position w/ less than a year of experience) -Will hire readily if you co-oped with them -My mill does 9/80 schedules where you can take every other Friday off, if you've put in 80 hours in the previous 9 days

      Cons

      -Word of mouth says it's difficult to move up the company ladder if you are unwilling to switch mills or companies -Entry level pay is not adjusted for the location you are in. My starting offer would be the same at a mill in a lower cost of living area. -Not much is done to build employee relationships outside of work, especially noticed by the younger employees.

      Pros

      Talented and hardworking electricians, operators, mechanics, and plant personnel. Interesting automation and controls work with opportunities to solve challenging technical problems. Significant autonomy at the local level when responding to production issues. Good compensation and benefits. Corporate engineering resources are knowledgeable and generally willing to help.

      Cons

      Expectations and priorities frequently changed without corresponding adjustments to workload. Performance feedback lacked important operational context, such as competing priorities, project reassignment, and resource constraints. Communication tended to favor frequent meetings over clear written expectations. Accommodation requests and communication support were difficult to navigate and lacked a clear process. Single-engineer staffing model creates a challenging environment for vacations, medical appointments, training, and long-term sustainability. Heavy emphasis on immediate deliverables can make long-term engineering work and root-cause analysis difficult.
