"They are frequently hiring from the outside always looking for someone better. There is no chance of advancement. They would prefer to hire people with lots of experience and tell them they will train them, and they have a lot of people moving up in the company, but it is all lies. This company has no clue how to take care of the people doing all the work. DON'T BOTHER TRYING TO WORK FOR Rock-Tenn."
"Rock-Tenn is the Worst Company to work for ever. They really put on a good show to start but ultimately they really don't care if you live or die.

There really isn't any chance of a bright future working for Rock-Tenn ."

"RockTenn is a corrugated container company who in the past had many beneficial perks to their employment. As the years went on they started taking away bonuses, and all incentive. turned the company into a hard place to work since it's union and it doesn't matter how hard you work as long as you show up on time and don't get hurt or ruin too much product. There is a very low glass ceiling on this job as well. Once you've made it to operator, you're relying on the stagnant Union for pay raises."
