Pros

Good benefits, good immediate supervisor, good pay.

Cons

Everyone is paid the same for that position regardless of work ethic. Almost all of the supervisors are awful, no consistency with plant policies, all supervisors choose favorites and treat everyone else bad. All supervisors have been at plant for 20 plots years and are burnt out waiting to retire so they just don’t want anyone to rock their boat even if the change is good, they just want to keep their favorites happy and leave the hard workers out to dry. Only reason why people stay long term is because of lag and benefits, just about everyone hates working there.

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.
