Pros

Unfortunately, there is nothing good to say about this company.

Cons

Poor leadership from above, staff are treated poorly and dispensable without notice. No training for new hires, just thrown in at the deep end and expected to perform.

Pros

Good benefits and competitive pay structure. You won't get rich at Mativ but you will make a competitive wage. Sales teams are mostly autonomous and given enough rope to do their jobs. Midwest manufacturing locations are some of the nicest and most helpful people I've ever worked with.

Cons

Mativ exists in mature and mostly declining business segments which makes sales growth a struggle. Atlanta Corp HQ is largely an inbred mess and a huge financial drain on the company. Many friends and cronies brought over from other companies (Georgia Pacific, Newell Brands) and there has been huge corporate turnover recently. Some of the financial gain and grift that I have seen from senior management is appalling. Publicly traded company so do your research. Pretty much anyone with tenured industry experience has retired or left the company. Management level industry knowledge is very limited.
