Roseburg Forest Products Reviews in Dillard, OR

I worked at Roseburg Forest Products part-time for more than 3 years

Pros – Extremely committed to employee safety and well-being and ample opportunities for diversity and vertical progression. Most first line supervisors and even middle managers have been promoted from within and started in the general labor pool.

Cons – Occasional corporate/union tension and vulnerability to layoffs mostly due to industry volatility. Corporate aims at cutting pension funds and employee benefits first when market starts to weaken.

Advice to Senior Management – Sustain safety and employee well-being atmosphere in place. Continue promoting from within and selectivity of seasonal rehiring.

I worked at Roseburg Forest Products

Pros – -One of the few companies that really lives their values
-Long term decision making in everything they do creates a culture where short term gains are discarded for more strategic initiatives even if there would be a short term loss
-The people are nice and down to earth atmosphere with co-workers is the friendliest I have ever experienced all the way from hourly workers to executives
-Management has passion for what they do

Cons – -Timber industry is cyclical and oftentimes the downturns can be painful especially with the close relationships developed between co-workers
-Hours can be long

Advice to Senior Management – Continue current initiatives and focus on developing internal talent more. Find the sweet spot between world class management and entrepeneurial spirit at the plant level.
