Pros

None and that is sad. But years ago there were many.

Cons

I’m not a disgruntled former employee. I was an employee in the good days the Crown Zellerbach James River days I invested well so am comfortable. Although not near as the Koch Brothers lol. So being unhappy is not the reason for my negative post. I cared about this mill. In our small community the mill is important to us. I don’t like to see bullies like the Koch’s treating people like they do. But they sure preach the guiding principles too bad they didn’t follow them. I had to retire after 30plus years due to 3 failed back surgeries. I didn’t get a call card or a boo boo from management. My job created my bad back but due to being treated like a criminal when injured on the job I didn’t claim it as a work injury. Koch’s cut our pay,retirement,jobs and more. Do people worth over 50 billion each really need to take from us workers? Our mill always made money so why treat us like this? Well it shows now cause they are shutting down machine because they don’t have enough workers. It used to be a lifetime job hard to get a job there. Now nobody want to work there. They have stooped to hiring temp workers.its hard to get anyone to stay past the 90 day break in period. What a shame.

Pros

This company is part of group of much larger companies involved in petro-chem industry. Large size allows for good benefits. Public transit is outside the factory, and is inside Toronto.

Cons

The management act like high school children, secret cliques backstabbing other people. The new employees are set-up as fall guys when leadership messes up. Leadership is afraid of the shop supervisors, so nothing changes and this company is stuck in same condition for passed 10 years. The shop is dirty and run down, BIRD POOP is a big problem. VERY COLD in winter.
