Business outlook
Pros
Always liked the people I worked with. Weyerhaeuser seems to attract good folks that were usually easy to get along with. Compensation was pretty good, as were benefits. Very relaxed work schedule. Treated the community respectfully and has always been helpful when bad things happened (i.e. natural disasters, family crisis, etc.).
Cons
Slow moving. Prefers process to getting work done. Complete disconnect between corporate services and the businesses they support. Company mantra is "Shareholder Value" which gets to be pretty lame when you realize that that really means " do whatever Wall Street says." HR departments that could care less about employees and serve as clubs for management. Promotions are political, not based on merit.
