Thank you for taking the time to leave a review. We're pleased to hear you saw value in our investment in equipment and talent, and we appreciate your kind words about our leadership team. We also hear your concerns. When someone describes the day-to-day as toxic and pressured, it signals that the interpersonal environment may not have felt fair, respectful, or supportive. That’s not the experience we want anyone to have, and we take that kind of feedback seriously. Even though your review is from a while back, your comments have been shared with HR and leadership at the Somerset mill as part of our continued effort to improve the workplace culture and ensure employees feel heard and valued. We appreciate your time with Sappi and hope that your work since then has been positive.

Pros

-Decent entry level pay for newly graduated mechanical engineer as a reliability engineer -Operations-Maintenance coordination has some improvements, not sure if they will stick

Cons

-Cloquet mill is very disorganized and chaotic -Near constant reactive "firefighting" operations -Maintenance department is not treated as a partner, but rather as a servant -Training in maintenance is a joke
