Pros

This site was a Buckeye Technologies site purchased with last 3 years. Peers are hard working and good to work with. The concept of Koch Market Based Management may eventually make the site functional and a pleasant place to work.

Cons

The functional group hierarchy are silos that cause disconnects impacting the organization and site as a whole. There are unrealistic project and operations demands for the amount of people causing excessive work and on call hours. Basically plan to live for the company with little reward. Management as a whole is not supportive and the opportunity to advance is dim. This site is in Flux trying to change from Buckeye processes to new GP processes and there is a struggle in almost every level and department. There has been alot of turn over recently for a site that typically has employees 20+ years.

Pros

Talented and hardworking electricians, operators, mechanics, and plant personnel. Interesting automation and controls work with opportunities to solve challenging technical problems. Significant autonomy at the local level when responding to production issues. Good compensation and benefits. Corporate engineering resources are knowledgeable and generally willing to help.

Cons

Expectations and priorities frequently changed without corresponding adjustments to workload. Performance feedback lacked important operational context, such as competing priorities, project reassignment, and resource constraints. Communication tended to favor frequent meetings over clear written expectations. Accommodation requests and communication support were difficult to navigate and lacked a clear process. Single-engineer staffing model creates a challenging environment for vacations, medical appointments, training, and long-term sustainability. Heavy emphasis on immediate deliverables can make long-term engineering work and root-cause analysis difficult.
