Working at Louisiana-Pacific in Portland, OR: 1 Employee Job Reviews by Real Employee working in Portland, OR Area

"Drunk monkeys could run a company better!"

What do you like about working at Louisiana-Pacific?

"None of my three bosses messed with me too much. They simply did not know what was going on, and so they couldn't."

Do you have any tips for others interviewing with this company?

"Try and interview somewhere else, unless you are within arms reach of retirement."

What don't you like about working at Louisiana-Pacific?

"You won't find a nicer bunch of people, but on the whole, their technology department is staffed by incompetents. Many of whom have been there for a long, long time. They almost ran the company into the ground, and the IT department is a bloated, disorganized, and expensive boondoggle. A veritable sea of mediocrity."

What suggestions do you have for management?

"Get your act together! You don't need 20 programmers to support a single misanthropic custom order and inventory management system. It doesn't even do accounting for Chrissakes. I've seen too many companies of similar complexity and size that run their operations with 5 or 6 staff. You don't need 4 guys each making 6 figure salaries doing 60 hours of data entry, and you can't tell the people who actually produce/ship the products that you are unable to put more than one order on a railcar due to system limitations, not when you have 20 guys slaving away on a custom system. They should be ashamed."
