Pros
Plenty of professional opportunity due to company growth The assets are set up in great areas to succeed. Short term profitability outlook great (depending on the market.) Lot of fire & excitement from younger mid level managers.
Cons
Consistent high/mid level leadership turnover, mark it on your calendar every 6 months/year. Shoot from the hip mentality, lack of communication between executive, general managers, mill managers, to mid-level managers. Mills operating with Silo mentality, rather than a large business. Production focus forgets that this is also a business. Waste is plentiful, planning is lacking. Focus on day to day production numbers, lacking thought for sustainability. Treated as Sawmills, and best manufacturing practices/processes often overlooked. Canadian/Northwest Bias. For a company this size lacks leadership focused on long term sustainability using the correct people/processes and low cost combination that will keep the company competitive over the next 10-20 years.
