The company was very good about helping you attain your goals or other positions within the company if you felt that was a direction you wanted to take. Company consistently worked on associate development and tried to set the pace for the industry forcing competitors to follow with similar programs.

The company serves a shrinking marketplace with the paper industry as its sole customer. As such employment at astenjohnson will have a very real cloud of uncertainty over it. As good as the benefits package is the uncertainty needs to be considered as part of any career decision.
