Arauco

This company is really driven by numbers. Management is stirred up with corporate bs which often creates a rift between management and production. Management has a meeting for every little thing because safety and quotas are taken so seriously that its counterproductive. (there’s nothing wrong with safety, but the implications that are put in place could be improved to create a better work flow) lots of down time and shut downs. Everyone has a coordinator position for just about every stupid little thing you could think of. In terms of scheduling. It’s terrible everyone rotates and it’s an incredibly weird schedule sometimes it’s nice because on shift people practically have a week off. Working with the people aren’t bad but be careful with what you do and say because it spreads like wildfires. Management and co workers tend to either group or pick favorites. There’s no real help with management or feed back when it comes to your excessively long probation period. If you don’t keep your nose clean in those six months small things are grounds enough to get you fired. When things arise lack of feedback and coaching can make expectations hazy and progress problematic. The health care isn’t the greatest and the pto and other benefits or okay. I’m sure people would be fine working here but I’d say maybe take your time somewhere else. I don’t see these issues being resolved anytime soon and it can create problems for some down the road. 

When I was hired I was told I would be travelling once a month for a week or so at a time to one of my four ports in Seattle, Portland, Los Angeles, and Oakland. First off, that didn't happen. I was almost three months in before I went to LA. Then I find out that the travel rate is more like once every three to six months. I accepted the job because I wanted to travel. Then when I finally did travel they wanted me to pay for everything with my credit card( car rental, flight, hotel), to be reimbursed later? I've never been with a company that does this. To top it all off, the "management" of the port operations was just replying back to emails from clients asking where their shipments were. Status updates. All day. Email status updates. And they wanted you in the office for that... I could have done that from home. I thought I was going to be managing four separate warehouse operations in four cities, not replying to emails and calling to update clients that their shipment was "two days out" all day. Cubicle hedes. 

Working at Aruaco has been a great experience. The leadership team truly values employees, fostering a supportive and collaborative work environment. There's a strong culture of teamwork, where everyone is willing to help each other out, making it a great place to grow and develop skills.

The company promotes a positive workplace culture, where hard work and dedication are recognized. The employees are some of the best—highly skilled, professional, and always ready to support one another. The leadership is approachable and genuinely cares about employee well-being, creating a workplace where you feel valued and heard.

Overall, if you're looking for a company with great leadership, an excellent work environment, and a strong team culture, Aruaco is a great place to be!

The culture is one that is very challenging due to constant changes in management. There is no set of guidelines any of the team follows. The day to day grind is one that always leaves the teams guessing about what's next. Motivated team players are not wanted, the culture is designed that top management makes decisions and everyone else follows without thinking them through.

Management always tries to micromanage one standard, then on the next day will change that standard. Overall, there’s lack of accountability for some operators, and they often target the hardest workers.

The swing shift hours are also pretty rough to get used to. The work, for the most part, is pretty easy though. There’s only a few operator roles that are challenging.

If you can handle extremely poor management, a lack of standards, and a poor schedule, it’s a pretty okay gig.



This company is striving to become the employer of choice. They have taken extensive steps to create a team based concept. 
On any given day we may have multiple faults or none. They use a PM schedule and scheduled down time to maintain this mill at peak efficiency.

Management was not a team environment, even while trying to establish working together in a positive manner going forward, the hardest part was stayin.

If you don't have responsibilities, like children and family you need to see often then the swing shift life is for you. Some of the higher ups will say one thing one day and then the opposite the next day. Like I said, not a bad place to work if you like switching from days to nights every two weeks. 

I was originally hired for a job I was told was going to be spread out amongst a few people. Once I was hired they decided to inform me I would be the only person performing the job and there were stringent deadlines which were almost near impossible to meet with the help of someone else.

working for ARAUCO was a joke. if you hadnt been there for 20 plus years, you were basically an outcast and a target for termination. the "good ol boys" made it clear you were not welcome and supervisors would do nothing to help anyone to counteract the issues.
