Solid Company, Old Culture - Manager International Paper Employee Review

Pros

Really long tenured people, outstanding toolbox of processes (if overly used sometimes), solid market in containerboard for long-term stability, long term strategic thinking/outlook at business-wide level.

Cons

The culture is deeply embedded in the old way of doing things, processes are overly complicated, and HR manipulates pay bands to continually downgrade effective salaries by posting down a position level, especially (it seems) when women backfill males in the same roles. Health insurance is horrible - expensive and doesn't cover anything.

Pros

Used to be well respected in the area and stable. Decent severance.

Cons

No longer stable. Outsourced IT department in maintenance mode. Two consecutive years of major layoffs and countless plant closures. No advancement opportunities anymore.
