Domtar reviews

I have worked for Domtar for nearly six years. Domtar Kingsport used to be a good place to work. About three years ago a new group of management took over and the mill has being going down ever since. They refuse to listen to hourly employees on anything. They blame hourly for the woes of the mill despite the mills safety record being exemplary prior to their take over. Since they came we have had record numbers of people getting hurt. Mostly due to being worked nonstop. The average number of hours worked is over 600 at the halfway point of the year. The salaried people are treated no better by upper management. They will promise you a job and than replace you without warning. One person brought in as a trainer was replaced than fired after only a month despite being promised a permanent position. Three other similar stories could be told for this year alone. The upper management make back door deals to get their friends into cushy positions and do not promote based on if it's deserved. Every negative mentioned in other reviews is doubly true for the Kingsport Mill. Bottom line, Do not trust the salaried offers to work here and only consider an hourly job if you wish to give up safety, time off, and any way of life. You won't get that here.

Untrustworthy management. Management will lie to your face. The employees are disengaged and apathetic as a result of the way management treats them. This is worst professional experience of my career.
