Pros

The paper industry has been in decline for years, but this company (thru several different owners) is still a player in the market. Innovative management, dedicated employees

Cons

Long hours, shift work, week-to-week schedules for casual workers. Two-tier training wage. Less than minimum wage take home (after deductions).

Pros

Close knit excellent maintenance teams that seem to do the impossible with the amount of understaffing over the years. Couldn't ask for a better place or people to work with. I have loved my time at this mill. Domtar has no idea at the quality of the institution\people that they are casting off into the abyss.

Cons

The corporation as a whole I am not a fan of. It seems they acquired Resolute FP to strategically dismantle it. They have closed several of the RFP mills and Coosa Pines an absolute institution that has been the backbone of the community for over 75 years is the next on the chopping block in May 2026.
