The downside is the company truly doesn't value an opinion that cuts against their preconceived notions. There are people in charge of departments that are ill suited to wash dishes much less run a warehouse and distribution center (should you choose to ignore the warning found here, you will recognize this person immediately if you work in the warehouse: like foghorn leghorn incarnate). They act friendly, pretend to listen, and have a remarkable ability to evade responsibility for their stunning ineptitude. At the end of the day, if you're OK watching your back every moment of every day and you're OK allowing your work make your witless boss look better than he could ever hope to on his own, then you will find your home at Anchor Paper. If you find something wrong with this, consider applying elsewhere. Your complaints or your attempts to draw upper management's attention to the systemic issues within the company will be dismissed, redirected, or will be laid at your feet as being indicative of your shortcomings.

Upper management knows exactly where the problems are but are reluctant or simply frightened to have the altercations that must take place. A horrifically toxic environment exists for those that want to reveal the systemic issues. Don't fool yourself by believing upper management cares about your concerns. Don't fool yourself and believe you have anyone in charge on your side. Be prepared to play the game every day you are there.
Pros
Small business, your efforts may be noticed immediately
Cons
Management doesn't care about your opinion, aging workforce, some frontline management are clueless

There is an incredible employee culture at Anchor and River Valley Converting. In my experience, it’s clear that our environment is genuinely unique and stands out in the best way possible. Being an ESOP company, there is a sense of ownership and pride among our employees. It’s evident that everyone truly cares about their work and understands how their individual efforts contribute to the overall growth and success of the company. The commitment not only drives our  achievements but also fosters a collaborative and supportive atmosphere.

 The numerous events we have throughout the year, along with a culture that balances fun, inclusion, and hard work, make for an enriching and enjoyable workplace. It’s this perfect blend that keeps us motivated and connected.

The leadership at Anchor Paper Company is impressive. The executive team encourages learning and professional development, and personal skills can be expanded significantly. There is impactful work, a fantastic team, and a culture that values its people. 
The employees are dedicated to providing the best service possible, and it shows in every interaction. They are reliable, honest, and operate with integrity. The company encourages employees to apply creative thinking and suggest new ideas in meetings and on projects. This makes the employees feel heard, validated, and the ESOP committee celebrates the employees regularly.  

Workplace culture is daunting. You feel comfortable but in my first week, I was shown how I was the only one who didn't have a "link in" with anyone within the company.  It didn't sit well with me, needless to say. Next thing I saw, a 40 year veteran being fired and phone calls coming as a result - politics.  Although I was apologized to for that, I had no idea things were so close-knit and bordered on nepotism.  Many may find this a comfort but I saw the drawbacks immediately. THAT WAS the hardest part of the job - the culture.

I take pride in the way our leadership team listens to our employees. 
The company looks to put fun into the day to day work environment. We have wellness initiatives to include give away's and company off site events to encourage collaboration with other locations.
You opinion truly matters at this company! 

Many employees are there due to connections of family and friends.  Long-term employees are the norm.  Technology is only partially welcome such as email, calendar in Outlook (higher functions are not) and mail function.  Very traditional in its mindsets about retention and family culture in the company

Fun work place with good management.
They offer excellent benefits and are a ESOP company.
They have a few different events annually that they
put on for their employees.

Typical day; start out with a plan then follow the fires.
I learned: a new ERP system
Management: largely absent
Work Place Culture: Accepting people, procedurally inconsistent, office is run down and grungy
The Hardest Part of my job;  Processing accusatory language 
Most Enjoyable part of  the job:

Anchor paper is a company that is behind the technological times and poorly run by its upper management. They are a local company so its understandable to a point, but it would be a much more successful business if they were to polish many areas up more.

I would still have a job if i were family.  My system training was incomplete and there is no opportunity to grow or advance. If you arent perfect you will be treated poorly and your peers will take credit for your ideas.
