No consideration to employees spending time with their family; a lot of the employees work a lot of 12 hour shifts. - Maintenance Technician Georgia-Pacific Employee Review

Pros

They do buy lunch several days a week, which is a good thing, because most of the employees probably don't get time to go shopping.

Cons

Working 6 days a week and not being able to plan any time with family. After working to 11:00 p.m. all week, they expect you to return to work Saturday morning to work day shift. If you do get a Saturday off, you are told late on Friday. Making it impossible to plan anything for the weekend. Management lacks in knowing how to manage. They are very inconsiderate; they have no respect for the employee and his/her family.

Pros

Talented and hardworking electricians, operators, mechanics, and plant personnel. Interesting automation and controls work with opportunities to solve challenging technical problems. Significant autonomy at the local level when responding to production issues. Good compensation and benefits. Corporate engineering resources are knowledgeable and generally willing to help.

Cons

Expectations and priorities frequently changed without corresponding adjustments to workload. Performance feedback lacked important operational context, such as competing priorities, project reassignment, and resource constraints. Communication tended to favor frequent meetings over clear written expectations. Accommodation requests and communication support were difficult to navigate and lacked a clear process. Single-engineer staffing model creates a challenging environment for vacations, medical appointments, training, and long-term sustainability. Heavy emphasis on immediate deliverables can make long-term engineering work and root-cause analysis difficult.
