I applied for the position online; it was for a social-media-centric position. Glatfelter called me to schedule an initial interview, which I attended. I didn't end up getting a call back afterwards, but I wasn't very surprised, nor did I particularly mind.
Part-way through the interview itself, I realized that--as a female--the Glatfelter company culture did not align with my own personal beliefs and morals, and I therefore decided to seek employment elsewhere.
In short, the women who work at this company are required to wear skirts or dresses at all times (although a professional pantsuit was deemed as acceptable attire, it didn't seem like that was an option I could/should choose very often). The reasoning for this strict, archaic restriction seemed to boil down to this: insurance is boring and stuffy, so why not spice it up by showing a little leg, sweetheart? It's tradition, after all!
OK, they definitely didn't say that, but that was the vibe in the room--trust me. Needless to say, I didn't want to be part of such a misogynistic expectation. Even the women who interviewed me didn't seem to care for the rule, though they continued to put up with it somehow.
To be fair, I'm sure Glatfelter is great in some aspects, but if you value your own freedom of choice as a female (and I hope you do), I say look elsewhere for employment.
