Pros

Benefits package is better than average

Cons

Company does not empower employees but instead micromanages them and completely misses the bigger picture. Smart people do not thrive in this organization but people with no common sense do. Billionaire owner is paranoid people are trying to steal from the company and invents processes to stop them doing their job properly. CEO has no power and many of the senior management don’t report to him they report to the owner. They treat suppliers and customers poorly, always pay them late and try to renegotiate deals after they were agreed.

Pros

You support a local site. Good rapport with other departments and hourly makes the job great.

Cons

Company merger. Domtar was the gold standard between the 3 companies. Now, Resolute seems to make all the decisions despite being the farthest behind in IT.
