  • Working in a paper mill was never a career path that Sonni saw for herself, until she met International Paper recruiters on her college campus. See why she chose to work at IP and why she continues to stay. Also, meet more of our employees like Sonni and learn about IP’s REACH development program for early career professionals in manufacturing.

    I retired from the paper mill at Wickliffe Ky. It started out as Westvaco, went through several companies, was shut down, reopened by the Chinese.

    Average person has no idea what pulp and paper industry is all about when they throw coffee paper cup in the garbage or load sheets of A4 into photocopy machine. I bet most would be quite surprised with complexity and technology used.

    Let’s not forget to mention how foul smelling those paper plants are. The first time I drove by one in Pickwick Tennessee I thought it was dead fish in the lake. Nope, it was a paper mill.

    Very good for her and anyone lucky to work for IP. I worked for Westvaco/MeadWestvaco/New Page/Verso at Luke, Md., and would still gladly be there if Verso wouldn't have given us the bone by shutting our mill down. Hopefully IP treats their employees better.

    I worked 8 years southern swing shift at a paper mill in Putney VT as a beaterman I would clock in and work non stop for 12 hours day or night. It was messy hard physically mentally trying work that never ended, and it beat me down. I wouldn't change it for anything though because taught me what real hard work is. The money was okay but it truly ruined my life, give me a shout if you want a hard working paper maker that knows the business on the inside of the mill.

Honestly I can’t stand people like this, it’s not “Not wanting to get your hands dirty”, it’s not wanting to die before you turn 50, the fear of death is not a thing people should laugh at.
