Pros

Great pay Great Benefits Good work/life balance Other union workers are good people.

Cons

Constant curtailments (Some lengthy) LOTS of wasted opportunities to increase the knowledge of operators due to staffing issues or poor allocation of resources. Everything that needs to happen regarding maintenance only seems to happen once the equipment fails. Other issues also seem to not be dealt with in a timely manner.

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.
