Clearwater Paper Reviews

Cons

Work alot of overtime, southern swing shift.

Cons

Overworked. Unrealistic expectations. Lack of quality training in operations.

Cons

I would not recommend this as a long term employer to anybody, especially people who think logically. Logical thinking seems to really be lacking here. At every company, there is a degree of things that don't make sense and things that are inefficient. Here, that pool of things is huge and can be very taxing day to day.
Over the last year they've been laying people off in an effort to save money. Problem is, in my opinion, they laid off some of the most productive and progressive people and chose to keep people that don't have ... "challenging" personalities.
Processes are very unsustainable. They are making effort to move in the right direction, and have made improvements in certain areas, but with the limited resources I suspect their issues will only persist/get worse. Stagnant cesspool of filth.

Cons

No empathy, hopes are rich

Cons

The management there is unprofessional.

Cons

12 hour shifts and corporate downsizing

Cons

They put more faith in the tissue industry when paperboard is making more money. Great people, just bad timing. Great educational experience, definitely a career potential company. However, they are relatively small company that needs to grow more and choice what they want to lead in. Find their niche, they are currently diverse with no path leading them to the future.

Cons

Steel Toe Shoes required, 12 hour shifts

Cons

One of the few cons of the facility in Elwood would have to be that some of the employees are a bit lazy

Cons

Some long days after downs that can be draining but they are far in between.
