International Paper Employer Reviews

I was treated very well, good pay, great benefits. IP is a top notch company to work for

International Paper was a company I could work for and share in profit sharing also. There were excellant incitivites in Safety program

I have worked in the Paper Mill Department throughout my entire career at the International Paper in Franklin, Virginia. I have trained and operated all of the Paper Machines and I have also trained and worked to the top ranked position in my line of progression as a Chemical Additives Operator.

I was fortunate enough to have had managers who advanced me quickly and provided me with great development opportunities. The downside to this company is that there is little room for career movement. Through cost cutting initiatives, many middle manager and first line leader roles were eliminated, leaving little room for analysts to advance from an – more...  individual contributor role. – less

Coordinated more than 40 training classes annually. Arranged hotel and class accommodations. Facilitated class enrollment and shipment of materials. Worked with Accounts Payable to reconcile training budgets. Worked closely with other regional training coordinators to complete training schedule and regional projects. Typed monthly arbitration and mediation – more...  briefs for Employee Relations Consultant.
I was allowed to develop the new office and the development of classes, I used my organization skills, my people skills and interaction with other departments of IP to accomplish this feature of my position. I learned the processes of contracting conference room space, room and food rates and audio/visual equipment if needed for the training staff. – less

able to learn how paper products are process, geat co-workers,great pay. nice place to work. very hot

management is very poor, they cant hire good help, they tell people what they wanna hear to their employees, they bend the rules all the time, and they do not care about the employees,ita all about money

i enjoyed my time with the company. but thought i had a better chance to make more money so thats why a left. (lesson learned, grass is not greener on the other side).

I worked for the same place for 32 years and worked many positions in the mill till closure 1/13/2012.I have references apon requests. I am a responsible person who you can rely on .My job was demanding and a lot of responsibility,I was responsible for quality on 3 paper machines and a laminating machine.

I get to work and get my assignment from mangement. Go to my area and begin my work. Everyone is working at a good pace. Every one is wearing their safety equipment. It's a productive place and its an enjoyable to work. Questions are asked and answers are given at a good rate.

Excellent entry level opportunities for finance professionals. IP had some of the best people development practices I've encountered.

IP became my employer after they acquired my company. I'm part of the IT infrastructure there and worked hard with the IP IT staff to integrate the infrastructures. The people with whom I worked were very sharp. Can't offer too much about the company outside of the IT department or what a typical day is like. Sorry.

After being with them for over 20 years I must say that I will truely miss the place. We took care of business but enjoyed every working moment

Answer high volume of calls and order entry. Manage strategic accounts. Solve issues with stock and manufacturing orders, pricing, tracking shipments. Works with other departments product line, marketing, transportation, outside sales representatives

It was a fun job and it was a great way to meet new people and learn new experiences. And overall if i had the chance to come back i would.

working in fast pace load plant to make boxes for various companies. Hardest part to do is stay awake when things are slow.

I learned a lot co-workers are very inmature
the jobs not hard its what u have to deal with
that make the job hard.

Wish they had not sold us to Mohawk because they shut us down and I lost my job.

Good work place and good management, and safe working place

going to work wasnt something i looked forward to. Alot of miscommunication. Good people to work with made friends but management has always been a complete joke. climate was the most difficult to deal with. Never knew what hours we were working until 30 minutes before the end of shift. Seeing the next shift walk out onto the floor was the best part – more...  of my days. It was that bad – less
