Thank you for taking the time to provide your feedback. We always value openness when discussing challenging issues. Consistent with our commitment to employee empowerment, I encourage you to reach out to your leader or the People department to discuss your concerns. Working collaboratively, we can identify and explore those things which are currently limiting your engagement with the organization. We hope to hear from you soon!

Hourly employee in the maintenance department.

Pros

Challenging, working on a wide variety of equipment. Every day is different due to the unknown factor of what will break, who will break it, and how spectacularly it will fail.

Cons

Rotating schedule, repair parts availability. Employee accountability is vague.

Thank you for your feedback. We could not agree more with your advice! Quality preventative and break/fix maintenance is critical. We always want to make sure that employees are both safe and in a position to maximize their success! If you see opportunities for improvement, please feel empowered to share with your local leaders.

management has no idea how to manage a business, closed a mill making over a million dollars a month to try to save a nonunion mill that hasn't made a profit in over a year
