A typical work day includes having to work with co-workers who abuse their priviledges or are verbally abusive
Customer Service Representative (Former Employee), Dallas, TX –
Pros: good hours
Cons: negative verbal environment / harassment
The hardest part of the job was dealing with a company that focuses on the manufacturing area instead of customer service.

Wasteful company, management lacks leadership skills. Run!
Machine Adjuster/Inspector (Former Employee), Dallas, TX –
Pros: defined pension plan
Cons: everything else
Everything done is done the hardest most uncomfortable way possible. Any open suggestions for improvement or innovation is unwanted, unappreciated. This is a company that practices extracting as much out of workers as possible and when top performance is reached fail to reward or recognize the effort. This causes an obvious high turnover rate, low moral – more...  and a core of under achievers. – less

especially before the MeadWestvaco merger, a really great company
Exec Asst-Papers Group Div (Former Employee), Dayton, OH –
Pros: great people/excellent benefits (pre merger)
Cons: very uncomfortable environment (post merger)
I had the opportunity to work for the Mead Corp for over 8 yrs originally, then left to return to school. When that plan fell through, I eventually had another opportunity to return to the company and was thrilled to be able to do so. Paper industry downturn resulted in several mergers and the Mead and Westvaco merger proved to be a downfall for Mead – more...  employees, as Westvaco eventually ousted the majority of Mead management and all but eliminated any local presence. – less

One of the best companies to work for.
Research Associate (Former Employee), Summerville, SC –
MeadWestvaco, or Westvaco as it was when I started was a great place to work. It was a "family company" with many examples of a several generations of members of the same family working for the Company. This tended to add a bit of stability and a general positive work environment. There was a feeling that the Company cared about it's employees.
