Great pay and great hours
Operator's Assistant (Former Employee), Omaha, NE – April 24, 2013
Pros: overtime and insurance benefits
Cons: opportunities for advancement within the company
A typical day at work is receiving the daily list of boxes that need to be produce for your specific machine. There are daily goals that are strived to be reached and there were incentives when the goals were met. The co workers were great and always there to help if you ever fell behind or needed an extra hand. The hardest part of the job what the – more... physical need to be able to handle the heavy material, and the most enjoyable part is the set hours to be worked and the opportunities to get overtime if available. – less

Weyerhaeuser is an amazing company
Administrative Secretary II (Former Employee), Federal Way, WA – January 20, 2013
Pros: great benefits, the company takes care of their employees, the work is satisfying and challenging
Cons: you can sometimes get lost in a corporate office of over 800 employees
Administrative duties, troubleshooting internal customers' problems with their corporate American Express card. writing, event planning.

I learned a great deal about corporate life and culture.

My coworkers were great!

The hardest part of the job was probably finding enough time in the day to get everything done.

The most enjoyable part of the job – more... was helping customers, planning events and the corporate and office environment. – less

Plant closed for quick money during corporate divestiture.
Production Supervisor (Former Employee), Honolulu, HI – December 16, 2012
Great place until it closed unexpectedly. Plant closed because it sat on prime real estate and was worth far more in sale than as a box plant.

A company who cares about their employees as people not just employees
IMAGING SPECIALIST (Former Employee), Federal Way, WA – November 10, 2012
I can honestly say that working at Weyerhaueser was one of the best employers I have worked for. One thing I appreiate about this company is that they truly care for their employers and safety was always first. A typical day would be working in a fun filed but serious work environment. The management cared, always encouraging us to see how we can better – more... ourselves. My co-workers worked as a team encouraging one another. The hardest part of the job was having to be laid off from such a great company. The most enjoyable part of the job was feeling like a big family rather that a big company. – less

Great Benefits, great pay, had lots of laughs with coworkers
Gluer/Folder Operator (Former Employee), Bowling Green, Ky – October 30, 2012
Pros: good crew to work with. we all got along good and worked well together
Cons: midnight shift was hard to adjust to.
Good management, good supervisors, mostly good coworkers. Mid-night shift. Sometimes had to work four hours of overtime.
Joked and laughed with coworkers, but we always got our work done. Machine would sometimes break down and leave us standing idle.
All good things must come to an end. The Company sold out and several of us were downsized..

– December 27, 2012

Weyerhaueser, level 1 floors, in my opinion ,I think it is sad that A company like Weyer haueser. has employees that puts the builder in front of the home owner. and an employee can make a statement that is untrue, costing a home owner time and moneyWeyerhaeuser level 1 In my opinion I would not use Weyerhaeuser flooring. we had a home built in the winter . the builder used Edge Gold Sub-floors from Weyerhaeuser. we were told that this product could be installed in the winter, this Product is OSB> and most people know that OSB draws moister, and if it dose it is never the same. we have had 2 different Rep's from Weyerhaeuser out and we got 2 differant solutions to our problems. I have tried working with these people but have gotten no were. they claim this product is great, and will have less squeaks, than most floors. read the instruction. you have to glue and nail the floor. I could do the same with Plywood or almost any other product, and get the same results.. except in my opinion, Plywood would not draw as much moister. or shrink. we have had to deal with these floors popping and squeaking for over 2 years. the builder wont fix the problem based on remarks made to us and the builder by a Rep. from weyerhaeuser. I will post those remarks after I talk to my Attorney. I don't want to make any comments that can be used against me, the comments that were made were a the very least wronge, damaging and made by a Rep that has no education in this field.

Very productive and safe workplace.
Shipping Coordinator (Former Employee), Lebanon, OR – August 25, 2012
A typical day started at 5:00 am and ended at 5 pm working with an amazing shipping crew of 8. What I learned as I grew in the company was to treat people like you want to be treated. My co-workers in shipping and I were together for 18 years and worked like a well oiled machine. The hardest part of the job was when my company downsized their salaried – more... staff and my job was eliminated. I was an employee who loved what I did and valued the people I worked with. together we grew not only in years but in the way we accomplished our daily tasks and learned to respect the differences in all of us and move forward. – less

Do not apply for the merchandising coordinator position
merchandising coordinator (Former Employee), houston, tx – August 8, 2012
Pros: good pay, good work hours, mostly friendly staff, reputable company
Cons: poor management
My recommendation is to not apply for the merchandising coordinator position listed at this company. To avoid a long and probably too detailed story, the management needs dire improvement. I can gurantee that you will most likely not be happy in this position for long since nothing you do will ever be good enough.Trust me. Also, it is a temp to hire – more... position which means you may find yourself out of a job within a few months and left with zero explanation as to why. Again, trust me!

The company itself seems reputable, so feel free to apply for other positions listed. My experience is only with the position mentioned above. – less
