Pros

Company has relatively good pay and benefits. Business and growth outlook is fantastic. In the main and regional offices plenty of perks including fully loaded (&free) breakrooms. Company also pretty good regarding approving expenses and offering development opportunities. There are also a lot of very talented people there. Most in junior positions looking for their opportunity to advance. Would recommend Enviva only a few select types of people 1) if you are located very close to one of the operating plants and you want to find a job in that rural community AND 2) you do not have a family with children and are able to come into work at the drop of a hat (this applies to pretty much everyone in the company) or 3) you just need to have a job while you look for another job.

Cons

Extremely toxic work environment which generally stems from incompetent upper management. Great people are generally marginalized or let go while incompetent favorites quickly advance. While this is somewhat an issue in most companies- I have never seen it to the vast extremes that are present at Enviva. There is very high turnover. Extreme micromanagement coming from the highest levels. Constant phone calls and expectations to work on the weekends and at all hours of the day (and night). Your career path will Enviva not be based upon your hard work, dedication or intelligence but rather if you can avoid being blamed. Everyone who can leave does leave unless their compensation is so high it can’t be matched in the current job market. Can be long commutes based upon work location.

Pros

Enviva now has a leadership team that is committed to improving by providing the right resources for employees and facilities. The new culture being built is a 180 of what it was a few years ago.

Cons

Corporate support still sometimes out of touch with sites.

Pros

He was the only positive thing about this company

Cons

Toxic work environment, forced or made to feel guilty or inferior if you did not work 18 to 20 hours a day. I could go on and on.
