Toxic Corporate Culture - Project Manager WestRock Employee Review

Pros

The pay is above (or equal to) what you'd likely get at most companies of this size, at least on the corporate side. Good benefits for the most part. PTO isn't really tracked, so quite flexible.

Cons

- The corporate culture is quite negative and toxic. With many in upper leadership that have never worked outside of the packaging industry, there's a constant battle between the "old guard" and the new, younger workforce. - The corporate culture at WestRock is heavily favoritism-based. Unpopular decisions will be escalated to upper management at the drop of a pin. - "Flexible" in-office days are a lie - they expect you to be at your desk 3-4 days minimum, from 9-5. No real incentives to return to the office - just punishment if you don't. Senior management walks the floors to ensure workers are at their desks. - Executive team doesn't appear to have a plan outside of closing facilities.

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.
