Weyerhaeuser reviews

Still a big company so still a lot of politics, and managers enjoy and favor their sycophants. Mixed bag on pay, they compare themselves nationally for IT salaries despite the fact there is high demand for IT, and higher salaries, a few miles north in Seattle. Company was well positioned to catch the full force of the recession: 3 of the 4 major company divisions are tied to housing (Real Estate, Building Materials, and Timberlands), so it is still reeling. Significant recovery with current business mix will lag the rest of the economy by 12-18 months so Co is hunkered down. New innovations are probably years away from market.

WeyCo corporate is top heavy and rewards senior managers well. But employees who actually produce products that make happy customers are not fairly rewarded. Safety is a prime goal, which is a noble corporate cause. But current over-emphasis on RIR figures has pushed injuries 'underground'. While numbers reported to OSHA are in fact down, worker's comp attorneys are happy, and senior managers get to pat themselves on the back and pad their bonuses, the realty from someone in the trenches is that un-reported injuries are happening.
