Management is pitiful and unhelpful, which has driven employees moral into the dirt. Schedule is decent, if they stick to it (which they don't) surprise weekend runs and extra maintenance days make it feel more like a prison sentence instead of employment. The pay and benefits were the only moderately "ok" things about this job. And the pay was structured around the fact that this particular mill was in an undesirable town with limited options, so they knew they had you by the throat. That said, it did coincide with cost of living (on the lower end, but still a liveable wage). But on a positive note, if your looking to be a skilled trades worker, it's fun stuff. Crazy break downs and big capital projects keep it exciting, exciting enough to barely keep your mind off of all the negative stuff.

A typical day at work is an hour early to get all machines prepped and get turnover from other shift supervisor and maintenance foreman about previous shifts issues and concerns, Then monitor production thru out the shift (10)hours on both production sides of the company while maintain a high level of safety for all employees. The work is fast paced and can be very stressful as pressure to meet daily and monthly goals increases, The hardest part of the job was trying to meet goals while trying to process all employees thru safety training and documentation as well as documenting environmental reports on spills while monitoring a 35+ man\woman crews in performance and safety as well as dealing with mechanical failures and mill cleanup in a 10 hour shift with little or no help from my manager

My typical day was entering data and reports from forestry mill activities, assisting the plant manager with any assigned duties for this management staff, planning business meetings, seminars, assisting in HR matters, and creating a fun atmosphere for employees to come to when they needed assistance. Also, managing and communicating with the public and upper level management.
I learned how to multi-task and be proficient while doing so. I also learned how to communicate with the public with interpersonal skills. I learned how to be a self-starter and self-motivator, not to mention all of the skills and professionalism I picked up through consistent training.
The co-workers were great. They were all nice.
The job wasn't hard to me. It was very enjoyable. I loved this company and the values it implemented daily.

PotlatchDeltic is a merger between Potlatch and Deltic. Really Potlatch bought Deltic (take over) and now owns and operates both companies. It is called merger to get past government regulations.
My review:
Because of the manger's lack of technical knowledge everyday was chaos. I learned that I should never have left my previous job.. Management was deceitful, dishonest, attempted to divide employees and blatantly lied about company policy. The cubicles are smaller than a bathroom stall, claustrophobic. the hardest part of the job was knowing that it could be a great place to work and productivity could be increased if the department was under proper management. The other employee's were good people. But I feel sorry for anyone that works in the Potlatch IT department.
Very toxic environment. Avoid this company at all cost.

At the beginning of each month, I would run the month-end report and transfer the information from that report into several other reports for my manager's review and use. If my manager were travelling to a customer and required a presentation, we would work together to assemble the presentation. On all other days, I would follow the process for reconciling claims. This was a satellite office and had no other co-workers in the office. However, throughout the nation, we ha other satellite offices and we would typically call each other for assistance. The most challenging part of this job was being given mixed instructions. The most enjoyable part of this job was reconciling the claims.

The compensation is decent, and the coworkers are capable, respectable, and highly collaborative. It's a good environment to build strong professional relationships.

The issue: Management often alternates between supportive and coercive leadership styles. There have been instances where scare tactics and intimidation were used to push team members toward meeting objectives, creating an atmosphere of stress and fear. This inconsistency in leadership makes it difficult to navigate expectations and thus fosters distrust.

Possible solution: Implementing a 360-degree performance review process to provide more comprehensive feedback, foster transparency, and encourage a more consistent and supportive management style.

Co-workers are mostly good, though there have been a few that made my job much more difficult. I've worked in a few different areas of the mill for about 4 years now. During those 4 years I have seen a change in management. Thankfully that change has gotten mostly better. Mostly. My supervisor and the plant manager are great. Old supervisors would ignore issues between employees and would have an attitude with their employees. Pay is great for area and benefits are ok. Swing shift every 2 weeks sucks, but you get every weekend off with at least 1 overtime Friday shift a month. 

When I first started working here this was the best place I had ever worked. As the world changed so did the culture at Potlatch and when they acquired Deltic the people whose backs the company had been built on had zero worth and were tossed out as if they didn’t matter. All Potlatch executives cared about was securing the deal!  Super sad about was left after the deal was done and this company chased away some very valuable people whose absence will always be felt.

I worked at PotlatchDeltic for close to 8 years it is a good place to work. They have decent pay. I didn’t like all the overtime they make you
Work, and the way they keep you on the same machine for months on end instead of allowing you to learn new machines and having a good rotation. It starts to become very monotonous. All in all though if you
Can get past that or don’t mind doing the same thing every day it’s not bad. They have a very good safety program as well as really good benefits. At the end of the day I left because I got to the point where I hated doing the same thing every day.
