      Pros

      Good remuneration packages but still high staff turnover

      Cons

      Internal politics gets in the way of honesty and integrity, too many big egos pursuing their own agendas

      Thank you for taking the time to complete a review. We agree that we have a very good total rewards offering for our employees. There may have been unusually high turnover in the facility you worked in, but on average Essity does trend below industry standard in turnover and this is something we take great pride in. Thank you for your comments and suggestion that we listen better to our employees. We are going to be conducting a company wide employee survey in September where we hope to get good feedback on how we can do better.

      Pros

      -Essity is a great company overseas, just awful in the U.S. -Good co-workers, and that's really it

      Cons

      -Bad management (worst I've ever worked under) -Bad benefits -Machines are literally falling apart with management not caring a single bit about actually fixing them -No work-life balance -Rotating shifts (days-to-nights/nights-to-days every two weeks) -Culture is awful -No avenue for advancement -The union is a "union" in name-only -Overtime system is terrible -As an operator, you do 80% of the maintenance work despite having actual maintenance that makes $10 an hour more than you
