Vantaggi

Opportunities are plentiful for the candidate that is willing to relocate and amenable to playing the political game. In an ideal world, the pay has great upside potential. The company, as a whole, is well positioned to continue to be a leader in the global paper products industry.

Svantaggi

Politics and management style impact your career, income, and job satisfaction. Two employees with nearly identical skill sets, working for two different managers in two different geographies will have two completely different opportunities. In one region, management promotes, recognizes, and rewards good performance. In the second region, the management makes decisions which limit the employees success, but blames the employee for poor performance. The management in region two is less likely to recognize good performance. Having a manager that is willing to share the credit for good performance and recognizes good performance to mid-level and top level managers, is the difference between an employee that will be promoted, and an employee that will become stagnant and unproductive.

Vantaggi

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..

Svantaggi

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.
