      I worked at International Paper full-time for less than a year

      Pros

      Pays well, good people, lots of opportunities.

      Cons

      Work life balance is basically non-existent. Long hours without consideration for employee well being. On call 24/7 365 for the smallest of issues that should be resolved at operator or foreman level.

      Advice to Management

      Raise the expectations on hourly workers, increase core competencies and engagement from front line workers. Management cannot do all of the troubleshooting and process monitoring.
