Pros

Nothing. They preach and onboard with conviction and once you are in your role, they abandon you with their toxic training staff.

Cons

There is a shortage of possible employees in manitowocd county and yet they let their staff tell them who stays and who goes. Seven employees started with me, I lasted two months , before it was too much. When I left, there was 1 of us left. This is not a new employee problem, this is a retention and training problem. Ive contacted International Papers Compliance department, they responded a month after I was gone? Yet this company boasts of an 84 percent retention rate. Seven people in two months come out to about 56 percent. Don't apply. Worst culture i've ever worked in.

Pros

Benefits were fairly decent when I was there. PTO was pretty generous. Pay was decent enough, along with a Bonus at certain pay levels. Many of the people I worked with there were outstanding - although, most of them are gone now. They did retain a few subject matter experts, most have left or leaving - but I guess it's a possible pro they might not cut your entire department..

Cons

The Cons are the new 'wonder boy' CEO. This puts most of the 'Pros' here on shaky ground. The new CEO - Andy Silvernail, is a ruthless cost cutter. I would expect as/if the stock continues to drop - other benefits, people, or pay will be gouged - like they did the entire IT department. Andy was making big stock promises when he started up, but it was clear from the start, his only concern was the stock price. I still talk to some people they did retain or forced over ("rebadged" - such a terribly soulless word for it) to the new MSP. Every single one of them is at their wit's end. They are hemorrhaging what's left of IT in the company and all of the deep knowledge with them. It WAS a great place to work - now they report working 60+ hours a week trying to make up for the incompetence of the new MSP. At least one of them told me that he has dealt with more downtime and high priority problems in the last couple months, than the previous 15 years there. So if you are considering a job in IT at this company - in any capacity, expect to work long hours with no real path or possibility for advancement.
