Pros

The pay and benefits are very good for union and non-union alike. Health insurance starts on day one, and they have a plan for just about anyone. From a high deductible HSA plan to a 100% coverage with 0$ deductible plan. The atmosphere is laid back, and it really does take a lot to be fired. If you are ambitious and want to move up, they support you anyway they can. If you are happy being a machine operator, you will still have a fruitful career.

Cons

I don't think a 40 hour per week employee exists. If you work in the union, you find out on Thursday afternoon if you're working that weekend. In the finishing department they only have to give you off 3 days a month. In the retail department they don't have to give you off. If your partner calls in, you have to work a double shift if they can't find anyone to cover for you. If you work in the office, your schedule is fairly laid back, but for most people the workload keeps them busy. There is certainly a lot of money to be made in the company, but be prepared to work for it.

Pros

You must be nimble to thrive in the paper business as Neenah has. Leadership really listens to employees, values their diverse perspectives, and is willing to act from their input. I have been given latitude to define the direction of my team and execute against that strategy - something other large corporations seem to find hard to allow. It is almost a shock, in a good way, to be empowered to make the best choice for my area and not have my boss block changes I plan to make; I have experienced false empowerment in a previous role at a larger corporation in the past.

Cons

Being a customer-oriented business, operations often has to juggle jobs to ensure short lead time orders can be completed. There is current focus around better synchronizing planning and operations, so I trust this will improve.
