Pros

One of the few south-end companies. Mid-level managers are receptive to discussion and are responsive to needs.

Cons

Changes in benefits - medical, pension, 401K. I can understand cutting back on these types of things as times are currently tough. It was recently announced, however, that these changes would be permanent as (if) the company starts growing again. This company has never been fiscally responsible. When the have money, they spend it stupidly and when times are tough, the workers bear the brunt of the burden to save money (i.e. layoffs, reduction in benefits, training, etc). Outsourcing - Weyco has given away their best resource; Intellectual Property. They have outsourced most of the tribal knowledge and now are left with most of the people that can't get jobs anywhere else or folks that are too new to the company to know what the culture/process. I could go on and on...but what is the point.

Pros

The people are Weyerhaeuser's best and only remaining asset. Not many of them left.

Cons

Everything I found attractive about this former Fortune 100 company is gone. 401k match - gone, decent health care plan - gone (replaced with high deductable plan), retirement medical benefits - gone, pension plan still in existance, but will be scaled back. The recent economic situation had hit Weyerhaeuser hard. Questionable decisions in the past to aquire another company was the beginning of the end. At this point, they have let most of the people go. All that remains is managers.

Pros

If you were to ask me 5 years ago, I would have said that it was a great place to work, good benefits, good career development opportunities, great people to work for. Now, as many others have posted, it's all about the bottom line. I understand that the company is in pretty dire financial straits, but management says it supports its employees and considers employees a critical asset, but then doesn't act as such. Ever since Rogel took over the company, it's been a steady slide downhill.

Cons

With the current environment, benefits aren't what they were (but are still decent I suppose), the direction of IT management is pretty frightening when speculating about succession plans, and when the company starts picking up again, there aren't going to be any knowledgeable people left to help support that growth cycle.
