Daniel Fulton
Current Employee – been working at Weyerhaeuser full-time for more than 10 years
Pros – Good salary and benefits
Good co-workers - competent
Work is interesting and rewarding
Many resources available to get job done
Millions and millions of trees -- the foundation of this company
Cons – Culture of company took 180 deg change about 10 years ago after merger with another forest products company. Once people were respected and their ideas appreciated. Now the company is run with a top-down, command and control management style (popular in the mid-20th century). Threats, authority and fault-finding are key tools used in this style of management.
Advice to Senior Management – Real decision making is held by only one or two persons. Those in middle management are now just "Sargents" carrying out the orders to keep the "solders" in line. This "yes sir" culture is stifling the creative power available in competent and motivated employees.

Pros – Quiet, non stressful, standard forty hour work week

Former Employee – worked at Weyerhaeuser full-time for more than 10 years
Pros – Weyerhaeuser treated employees ethically and with respect. The small companies I worked for after leaving due to corporate downsizing were not at all comparable and the difference was palpable. Weyerhaeuser trained and empowered employees. We were given proper tools and training to do our jobs. We were kept informed and not treated like wayward children.
Cons – It was difficult to be promoted when budgets were crunched and managers withheld long promised promotions to stay under budget.

Former Employee – worked at Weyerhaeuser full-time for more than 7 years
Pros – People are very nice to work with. Very social atmosphere and lots of fun things to do within the company.
Cons – Middle management was very focused too much on numbers instead of bringing out the best in their direct reports, or giving opportunity to those who want to work for this company. Can be very clique-ish.
Yes, I would recommend this company to a friend
