Weyerhaeuser – “Used to be an excellent place to work!”

Pros

Pros:
- The people are dedicated and fun to work with.
- Ability to move around to learn and try new things.
- Recognition by certain management is done well while others struggle.
- Excellent worklife balance and flexibility but it depends on the job you do and the group you are in.
- Used to have a really good benefits package. Compensation was always so-so.

Cons

Cons:
- - Some employees seem to rise quickly and so many people wonder why.
- Compensation and benefits are swirling drain. Not competitive especially for those in IT which leads to highly skilled employees finding a better situation elsewhere quickly.
- In tough times the "You are just lucky to have a job" doesn't really work especially in IT.
- Morale is low.
- It kind of feels like the Senior Management is just running the company into the ground. WY used to have a diverse portfolio that would help it get through tough times but all of those businesses were sold off leaving building materials and real estate which are a recipe for disaster in a bad housing market.

Advice to Senior Management

Value your people more and make better business decisions. Be more agile and innovative. Sometimes it takes so long to make a decision and execute that the opportunity gets lost.
