Pros

Some of the most talented individuals in the pulp and paper industry

Cons

Pay is not even close to the industry standard. They expect you to work around the clock, including while you are on vacation. Upper management does not have a clue as to what is going on in the field and what it takes to be successful. There is no accountability, if you can’t do your job and they like you, they just promote you to keep you around. Poor communication across the company. Constantly restructuring. No real leadership or direction. Very flat organization, no way to move up unless you’re “in” with the management crowd.
