Pros

Managers and the mill technicians make decent pay.

Cons

We used to have decent health insurance, but not anymore. Do not like the consumer driven health plan that has been forced on us. Our HR department is a joke. They never answer their phones, or email it seems. And in the past year our HR manager has hired two friends and a couple of nephews. They no longer seem to look at people already employed for promoting them to higher paying positions. It's discouraging for employees that have been there for years. And they never seem to follow through with things they say they are going to do. Top heavy in senior management. Some seem to rattle on with long winded speeches just to hear themselves talk.

Pros

Close knit excellent maintenance teams that seem to do the impossible with the amount of understaffing over the years. Couldn't ask for a better place or people to work with. I have loved my time at this mill. Domtar has no idea at the quality of the institution\people that they are casting off into the abyss.

Cons

The corporation as a whole I am not a fan of. It seems they acquired Resolute FP to strategically dismantle it. They have closed several of the RFP mills and Coosa Pines an absolute institution that has been the backbone of the community for over 75 years is the next on the chopping block in May 2026.
