Poor leadership. Unhappy employees. No opportunities for growth. - Anonymous employee WestRock Employee Review

Poor and untrustworthy leadership. Employees have been lied to so many times. I understand that there might be things that the leadership aren't allowed to tell the public at certain time for business strategy purposes, but at the same time assuring the employees one thing then doing the opposite definitely does not boost moral nor trust in the company. Compensation is considered ok comparing to other companies in the same region. However, the worst part is limited to no opportunities for career advancement unless you are in marketing or sales. Been in the same position since joined the company, while colleagues in marketing gets promoted every year or two. Compensation also seem to be more generous towards the business side rather than the operation sides. The company spends too much time worrying about core values and culture while not actually attending to employee's moral and happiness at work. Senior management seem to lack clear direction and does not instill trust, motivation, nor inspiration. That's why young professionals are leaving by the mass, even veterans of 10-15 years are sending out resumes and looking for better opportunities where they feel they are needed and can contribute.
