Pros

Massive company with plenty of opportunities to move around and grow your career. Their is a culture of personal growth and attention on employee satisfaction and engagement. Leadership has a clear vision and strategy. Works hard to ensure everyone has an opportunity to understand it if they're willing to put forth the effort to listen. CEO is very down to earth and loves talking with employees from all parts of the business and genuinely listens to their feedback. Big focus on continuous improvement and growth. Always looking forward. Benefits are pretty standard (401k, Employee Stock Purchase, HSA health plan, standard vacation, bonus program for qualifying positions).

Cons

Again, massive company with a lot of moving pieces. Sometimes takes a long time to get things done. A lot of people get involved in every project. Can get hectic and frustrating. Large divide between corporate office employees and plant/mill employees. They live in separate worlds.

Pros

Great pay, easy work, plenty of hours.

Cons

Some of the people who work in the warehouses are lazy and they have the so called manager wrapped around their finger, So you end up doing their job and yours. The manager won’t do anything because he is just as lazy as the warehouse guy. And is scared of the consequences if he actually does his job and disciplines the sorry ———‘s So the real workers are the only ones that suffer. That very manager told me two weeks before becoming the manager over the shipping department that he didn’t think he would become the manager because he had already told the other managers that we have to stop over working our real workers to cover up for our non workers. I told him that night he would be the same way as soon as he got the position, And if he did that I would be the first to tell him. Point being: If you are a lazy piece of trash and have no self respect or work ethics this is the place for you. Bad thing is that you can not get in touch with anyone that has any interest in cleaning up (this particular terminal ) of a very good company.
